What is your question?
Past 2 days the Brake red light keeps going on & beeping as if my e-brake is on & I will sometimes be able to stop it by applying e-brake 1 -3X, other times will go off after a few minutes of driving & beeping just stops. The pedal issue just started on my way home today. & has happened every time I stepped on the brake.(10 min drive/6-7 stops)I also noticed my oil pressure has been higher than normal for past week, normally between 40-60 & has been going to 80, but think that’s a whole separate issue!😞
What makes this problem better or worse?
N/A

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Wrangler. It sounds like you're facing a severe brake issue. When the brake pedal goes to the floor, it typically indicates a loss of hydraulic pressure in the braking system. A few factors, including a brake fluid leak, air in the brake lines, or a failing master cylinder can cause this. Given that the brake warning light is also on, I recommend checking the brake fluid level in the reservoir first. If it's low, look for leaks around the brake lines, calipers, or the master cylinder. The higher oil pressure you mentioned might be unrelated, but it's worth checking out. A malfunctioning oil pressure sender or a blockage could cause the pressure to spike. I recommend getting your Wrangler inspected by a qualified technician as soon as possible. Towing the vehicle is a good idea since brake issues can lead to dangerous driving conditions.
