| Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) to whom it may concern: i have a 2009 four door jeep wrangler unlimited with a defect in the electronic stability system. While traveling on the interstate in may 2010, the dash board slipping indicator light started flashing and the vehicle clamped down on the front right brake driving me off the interstate into the grass. Fortunately, i was able to stop before having an accident. The system then indicated that there was a problem and the esp disarmed itself while disabling the esp. The bas indicator lit. Shortly before i was able to get the vehicle to the garage, the esp module apparently reset itself and the vehicle swerved to the right (front right brake again clamping down) while i was going 30mph. Fortunately, i have 3 mpg videos of this 2nd incident because i happened to have my camera it the passenger seat. Videos of 2nf incident and repair receipt: http://www. Ecjones. Org/jeepesp/ on may 20, 2010, cogdill dodge (865-690-1611) replaced the antilock-brake/esp module. Unfortunately, last saturday june 4, 2010 while driving home, the vehicle esp slippage indicator again flashed and the jeep swerved sharply to the right. My son [xxx] was driving at the time while i was in the passenger seat. [xxx] states the jeep was also trying to accelerate while simultaneously applying the right front brake. I believe that the problem is a failure of the front left wheel speed sensor getting the speed indication to the esp module. The module was replaced but the problem persists. [xxx] p. S. The jeep is currently parked while i await a 2nd repair by jim cogdill dodge this wednesday. |
