| Description of the problem | While making a left turn at a t-intersection, from a full stop, across on-coming traffic passing left to right on a two-lane road, i pressed the accelerator. Jeep began rolling forward into the intersection when anti-lock brakes initiated without any depression of brake pedal, slowing acceleration to an idle coast. I depressed accelerator to floor, but the engine did not respond and continued to coast through the intersection. We could feel the abs weakly grabbing and letting go, and there was a grinding noise coming from the front wheels. The caution tone sounded and the jeep displayed an abs caution light and traction control caution light. We coasted across the intersection and pulled over to the side of the road, very narrowly avoiding a side-impact collision with on-coming traffic from our left and a rear-impact collision with traffic coming from our rear. Obdii scanner shows rear abs speed sensor bad. Internet search shows many same or similar incidents with jeeps at approximately 40,000-50,000 miles. Jeep has approximately 43,000 miles. |
