We have classified the 2 complaints from 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE into the following categories.
Collision detection initiates randomly with no hazards at interstate speeds (70 mph). applies brakes and warning. this has happened in traffic and has nearly resulted in a rear impact collision on multiple ocassions.
While driving on the highway with no vehicles or obstacles in front of me, the break assist collision avoidance went off indicating an imminent collision and stopping the car. perhaps related to the same issue, a few minutes after this incident the computer also displayed an error message stating that the automatic windshield wipers were not working properly
Adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance did not work properly, and resulted in a collision. i was driving on a highway, relying on the adaptive cruise control and the automatic braking, a feature of collision avoidance. there was a slow down in traffic, and although the system slowed down and applied brake, it did so too late to stop car. as i got too close, i applied steady pressure on the brake, but i still hit the car in front of me, who then hit the car in front of them. no significant damage to either of the other cars, and mine has minor cosmetic damage, and the adaptive cruise control is now not working properly. could have been significantly worse. makes me really question the potential for self-driving cars. *tr
