ABS module or sensor failure on the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Only 2 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.

When abs module or sensor failure gets reported

There are 3 reports of ABS module or sensor failure on the 2007 Jeep Wrangler, 2 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.

A part like this is normally expected to survive 95,000 miles. It is the 38th most-reported problem on this model year.

The whole distribution

Percentiles of the 2 odometer readings owners gave.
10th25thMedian 75th90th
— — 1,692 miles — —

Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.

What a percentile can and cannot tell you here

These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.

What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.

Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.

What happens, and what it costs

Putting it right typically runs $500–$2,400 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.

The same failure on other years

The same failure is reported on 14 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2019, at a median of 32 miles, and latest on the 1997 at 95,000 miles.

By volume the 2015 carries the most reports, with 68; the 2007 has 3. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.

If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote

Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. While driving 35 MPH, the ABS locked up. The dealer did not know how to repair the vehicle under NHTSA campaign id number 06v493000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module ). She stated that she will locate another dealer and notify the manufacturer. The current mileage was 3,000 and failure mileage was 1,000.

1,000 miles NHTSA complaint 639431 filed 2007-09-20

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. While driving 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle coasted and restarted on its own. The vehicle failed again while pulling into the driveway. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failure. On july 10, 2007, the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA recall number 07v291000 (electrical system). The vehicle has not stalled since the repair, but continues to hesitate as if it will stall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice because the air conditioning system failed. On august 27, 2007, the contact noticed that the ABS and anti-skid lights were illuminated. The vehicle is currently at the dealer for the A/C system. The current mileage was 18,000 and failure mileage was 2,384.

How far this goes

This page is kept out of search results because 3 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.

Complaints are voluntary, so 3 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.

Questions this page answers

At what mileage does abs module or sensor failure happen on the 2007 Jeep Wrangler?

Across 2 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 1,700 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.

How common is abs module or sensor failure on the 2007 Jeep Wrangler?

3 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.0 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.

What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
