    did you think you should maybe get the ABS code to help troubleshoot the issue- before spending money?

    I went to the Jeep dealer they wanted to charge me $100 just to troubleshoot that ABS code it was cheaper for me to buy all four abs sensors for all four wheels but only bought three two new ones in the front installed no luck 1 in the passenger rear wheel no luck and the one I took off the rear passenger I put in the rear driver side and still no luck

    Honestly. I'm not sure what the safety issue is here. But I have a friend that has had the ABS disconnected. And the warning light on for some time. And no issues. If some one could enlighten me with this issue. I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry of I hijacked your post @Leothelion .

    when you turn on the ignition and accelerate your RPMs go down and you can feel the brakes cramping on the roaders for a while, kind of like when you're in wet conditions and you start to slide to the left or right you can feel the traction control kick in that's what happens,

    100$ to see a 'physician' for a EKG is not an option.

    Maybe search for a scanner that is applicable of reading ABS - a scanner is a must have tool it is the 21st century... the scanner price is already offset by cost of 4ABS sensors, time labor, 100$ for a second scan, and any future need.... the right tool seams inexpensive now.

    Just had this EXACT same thing... Mechanic said It’s the front passenger wheel bearing, just wondering if covered under powertrain warranty. They just replaced lifters, and rocker arms on that side that went out suddenly. Luckily the lifters were still under powertrain warranty....waiting to see.

    Doubtful if wheel speed sensors are covered by powertrain warranty but won't hurt to ask. Welcome @WragLer2015 ...what's your story and the jeep. Post a little intro about the Sahara + pics

    Waiting on JeepCares to call back dealer said wheel bearing not covered. My jeep is a 2015 85k miles and have already had radio burn out, lifter/rocker arms fail, and now wheel bearings failed..I never offroad, just enjoy driving the jeep daily..but never had sooo many issues with a brand new vehicle. It has 33 wheels 3 inch lift.

    Can't speak for the radio burnout but at least the lifter/rockers were replaced under warranty. If the wheel bearing are going bad you will have play in that wheel and damage could result from road hazards etc. But squealing noises could be a number of things like worn brake pads and @85K might be time to inspect the brakes.
