2018 rubicon jl
Occupation
Application engineer
ive had my jl rubicon for about 3 weeks. A couple days ago I felt the abs turn on for a second(dry normal driving conditions). A few minutes later the abs and traction control light came on and said it needs service. It still drives fine so I’m not sure if there really is an issue with it or maybe with the electronics. I’m pretty disappointed that this is happening already. My biggest concern with a Jeep was reliability and it seems to be biting me in the butt. Has anyone else had this happen?

Often electronic devices have early life failures. This is not uncommon. Your JLU probably has a sensor that has failed or is intermittent. Anyway, chitt happpens. You need to take it to dealer and have then eval your JLU. and replace the problematic part. Could happen with any type, brand vehicle...

'18 JL Rubicon
I had this happen to mine. Took it in last week to get the service done. I think it was a vacuum problem.

Came back on yesterday. So going to have to take it back in again.

I was just driving down the road in my JLUR 1800 miles and the ABS, traction light, and the service 4WD lights all came on. They did turn off a couple of times but now stay on and it says 4WD is temporarily unavailable when I start the Jeep up.

Hey Doug,

Are you planning on taking it into the dealership for further inspection? Send us a direct message with your VIN as we'd be glad to get a case started and escalate for handling.

I have the exact same issue and the dealership is telling me they cant get the replacement part, in the mean time no 4wd no cruise control or stability control. It has been 3 weeks now and still no word as to when they will have a fix other than "we still cant get the replacement part" pretty frustrated....

Hi Mathusala,

Would you mind sending us your VIN? We want to look more into this and get clarification on why the dealer is unable to obtain the part.

Hope to hear from you soon,

@Mathusala - did you get this fixed yet? I ask because I have a similar issue. My dealer is replacing the ABS module; however, I’m told the part is on backorder and no ETA (as of yesterday when I dropped it off).
