When starting my 2020 Jeep Wrangler all warning lights were flashing. I called dealership and they asked if the car could be driven. Eventually all of the lights went off except service engine and we were able to drive it to the dealer. They did a diagnostic check and could not identify the problem. They then reset the service engine light. One day later the same thing happened again shortly after starting and while we were driving. The car braked on its own without any notice while we were driving and everything started flashing again. We could not shift the car or move it. We decided to have it towed to the dealer. After 3 days they found that the ABS Module had to be replaced. Unfortunately these modules are back ordered for several months. I have no idea when my car might be fixed.

Vehicle intermittently does not turn back on after engine shuts off during normal electronic start system operation. Engine shuts off when nearly and at a stop. When releasing the brake pedal, the engine does not turn back on. There have been three occurrences as follows: Occurrence 1 6/27/2020: Exiting the thruway and nearly at a complete stop at a light at exit when the engine shut off due to ess system. Upon releasing the brake to begin driving, the engine failed to turn on. Operator was pushing gas pedal to go, the engine remained off. Remedy was to tap the brake again in which the engine turned on and was able to move. Occurrence 2 7/13/2020: Came to a stop in traffic on a street. Engine shut off due to ess system as designed. Upon releasing the brake, the engine did not restart. Operator pushing gas pedal multiple times and engine still did not turn back on, sitting 'dead' in the middle of traffic. Attempting to push the push start button did not turn vehicle back on. Remedy again was to push brake pedal again and engine turned on. Occurrence 3 August 2,2020: Operator in traffic, came to a complete stop. Released brake pedal to begin moving. Engine did not turn back on, and shifter 'd' symbol began flashing. Tapping brake pedal would not restart vehicle. Dashboard stated 'shift to P to park', to place vehicle in park position. Placed vehicle into park, had to restart engine by pushing start button. Engine turned on and was able to move. I have a video showing the third occurrence, however this submission only allows picture format so took snapshots of code. Sent video to fca, have multiple recorded visits to dealer to find issue, no root cause determined at this point. Requested refund/replacement.
