We have classified the 144 complaints from 2015 Jeep Cherokee about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
The vehicle stop/start feature activates on the highway when in traffic congestion when i come to a complete stop, at a stop sign, or at a red light; periodically, the emergency brake is also activated and does not allow me to turn it off and proceed unless i remove the ignition key, insert it, and then restart the car. only then, will it allow me to turn off the electric emergency brake and move into traffic. my family and i have been in danger from other vehicles on the highway, at red lights and stop signs, because of my car stalling, in this manner. the stop/start feature places me and my occupants in danger of collision from other motorist. i have reported it to whitten brothers, local jeep dealer, several times, however, they discredit the complaint and i believe they do not document it.
I recently leased a new 2015 jeep cherokee with safety package and fcw system. when i took vehicle home i realized that the forward collision warning system was not engaging ie: no audible and no visual alerts so i took it back to the dealer. the vehicle has been back to service several times for re-calibration but they cant get the system to work as designed or advertised. i am waiting for the service tech to get back to me with additional information as he was waiting for a response and overhead support rom jeep. according to the service tech alot of these vehicles are experiencing similar issues. this is a potentially dangerous issue and real safety concern. if folks are relying on this system they may be at risk. *tr
