ABS light on on other Grand Cherokee years
No other Grand Cherokee model year has enough reports of ABS light on for a sheet of its own. See every Grand Cherokee year.
What this problem usually is
This is the narrower sheet inside brake problems for the anti-lock brake (ABS) warning light. What separates it from the wider brake sheet is that most owners here aren't describing worn pads or grinding. They're describing a light, and often a list of features that quit along with it.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (16 reports).

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee that deal with this problem. Newest first.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 37 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
