Most Popular Brake Buddy for 2017 Jeep Wrangler

Brake controller works great. If you are installing yourself(wiring it to vehicle) it takes some time. If you have never done electrical work on your vehicle I would suggest paying someone to install. Installed on our 2017 Jeep Wrangler. Tight install when placing it between the seat and brake pedal. Once installed and setup works great. Can’t really tell it is working behind our 36’ motorhome, but do not need to press brake pedal down any harder on motorhome to stop. Wish it had a manual button for applying just the Jeep brakes so I can verify it works when moving slowly, like my trailer used to be.

No prblems .I got what I wanted at a fair price

I purchased this BB Classic 3 in October 2020 after my old BB Classic that I purchased in 2008 failed to hold pressure for the piston. I bought this for my 2017 Jeep Wrangler but due to (1) the depth and unevenness of the driver's floor board, (2) the seat adjustment bar prevents BB Classic 3 from pushing against the seat and (3) the adjustable legs are not long enough to reach the seat and brake pedal properly, the BB Classic 3 fails the auto start test every time due to not being able to level. I talked to Hopkins MFG techs several times trying to resolve the issue (wiring checks, power cord checks, etc.) but to no avail. This situation makes the BB Classic 3 dangerous to have in service because not being level it will think something is wrong and keeps the brake applied (piston will not retract after applying the brake). So after talking to other Jeep Wrangler owners I determined that a platform was needed for the floor board on which the BB Classic 3 could rest. I constructed a platform that was approximately 3" off the floor board and rested on the floor board under the seat and on risers toward the brake pedal. This platform is level on the floor board both length-wise and width-wise. After placing the BB Classic 3 on the platform with clevis and power cord installed and legs in the lowest position, I tested the auto start and had 8 successful tests in a row!!! Also the brake away test was successful too. I still need to make a short drive test while in tow behind the motorhome. Hopkins really needs to advise customers that the Classic 3 will not work properly as is on a 2017 Jeep Wrangler due to the configuration of the driver's side floor board.

Everything I would expect! Great service, quick delivery, and awesome pricing!

Install was fairly easy. I did call support with a couple questions and they were very helpful.

The Brake Buddy has been working great. I just wish they had made the plug a more standard mount. It doesn't fit the standard mount point on my Roadmaster baseplate. I had to make a little bracket to adapt it.
