After a few minutes when the car is parked and stationary on an incline in our driveway, it will roll about 3-4 feet and then stop on its own, all while vehicle is in park. this does not happen every time it is parked on an incline, seems to happen randomly.
My wife, (xxxxx), was driving this vehicle. she was in a drive-thru, moving at low speeds when the brakes stopped working. robin was able to roll to a stop in the parking lot. i responded to the scene to inspect the vehicle and observed that the brake pedal assembly had become disconnected from the brake booster plunger rod, completely disabling the brakes. upon further inspection, it was determined that there is a retainer clip which holds the plunger rod to the brake pedal. this retainer clip was not installed and was not found anywhere in the area to indicate it had fallen off. there has never been any work done to the vehicle around the brake pedal assembly. it is my belief that the factory did not install the retainer clip, or did not install one correctly. thankfully, this happened in a parking lot and no lives were lost or hurt. redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

When i purchased the vehicle, i was told it was flat towable behind a motorhome. after purchase i then had to spend $500 to have a wiring harness installed to prevent death wobble of front steering/wheels. the second time i towed the vehicle, the back brakes locked up destroying tires, rims, and other unknown items at thisw time.
While driving on the freeway at 60 mph and slowing for a turning car ahead, the cars emergency braking turned on and tried to stop the car. this has occurred twice this week.
Front brake pads and rotors required replacing at 23,000 without warning. an inspection at 17,000 miles was normal. tire wear is normal and at 30,000 vehicle is still on its original tires. the vehicle has no warning system of brake pad wear
Vehicle was stationary, transmission was placed in park and power was completely off when it began rolling downhill while unattended. emergency brake was not set. vehicle was parked on a slight incline.
The vehicle would not back up with my boat attached, has a rear stop feature that was engaging, went to my system setup screen to defeat the feature, it would not let me, i would remove the check and it would come right back on. the dealer knew there was a reflash for this condition, but it was a yellow arrow, so they were not allowed to fix it unless i complained about that particular system, he said fca had recently said no more reflashs that were not a red bolt unless customer complained about a component issue the reflash could fix. this dealer tom whiteside (740-869-2296) said there were more reflashs, but could not do. said they encourage them to do all in the past, even promoted it as a way to sell him a hand held computer. do i sue chrysler or the dealer when they both know and won't be pre-emptive? i would not know this didn't work till i needed it to work.
Takata recall. was driving with kids and wife i began coming to a stop and was going about 10 to 15 mph when the car stalled out. it shut off and the steering wheel locked up along with the break pedal was nonoe functional as well as the gas pedal and the gear shift. the car would not go back into park and left me in the middle of the road for about 4 minutes. i finally got it into park and then it wouldn't start for a few minutes. this all happened on a major highway in my area. it finally started and we took it to the dealership as it is pretty much brand new. (33k) on the vehicle. the dealership has ran test and has told me that there is a 2018 jeep in the same place doing the same thing. we have had the car there for about a month and they say there is nothing wrong with it and now we have to come pic it up. something is definitely wrong with the jeep as we was in motion, coming to a stop and was not turning. i would say it's a life or death situation.
2017 jeep grand cherokee. consumer writes in regards to problems with the ignition, analog speedometer and tire pressure. *ld the consumer stated she was involved in a car accident in which the brakes failed. *tr
I had the car for about 35 days. i was driving home from work on a side street and my brakes failed. i applied the brakes as i was coming upon a 3 way stop sign. my breaks jammed,and failed to stop. i hit another car and we both walked away with minor injuries. my jeep was totaled. all airbags deployed and i had all front end damage. i feel their is either a problem with the break modulator, or the auto stop feature when you apply your breaks to stop. i was almost killed. i will never buy another car with this auto feature again. of course nothing was found.
18 days after purchasing my grand cherokee the car suddenly felt like it was dragging something and having a difficult time moving. it felt like the emergency brake was on, but the was not light indicator. when we pulled over the wheels were red hot and when we dropped water on it to see how hot it was the water sizzled. we engaged and then disengaged the parking brake just to make sure it wasn't on for some reason. we had the car put on a flatbed and taken to the dealership. a week later they said it was fixed, we picked it up drove it the 23 miles home and parked it. the next morning on the way to work it did the same thing. a flatbed came and took it to the dealership again. the dealership drove it and they experienced the same problem and had to have a flatbed come pick it up. we were told that the brakes were engaging without warning and it would be fixed. the replaced everything in the rear brakes and we waited a month for a module to be installed. the dealership called and said it was fixed. again, we picked up the car, drove the 23 miles home and parked the car for the evening. the next morning on the way to work the brakes engaged again and we had to have the car put on a flatbed once again. every time this happened it was on a different type of road, going different speeds and for no particular reason. there wasn't any hard braking happening to make the brakes engage. it was in the middle of driving this would happen. in the 9 weeks of ownership, we have only had possession of the car for 20 days!!! we are being told the car is fixed and we can come get the vehicle. i no longer feel safe in this vehicle and do not want it back. i'm looking to have the car taken back under the rights of the lemon law and will be involving a third party to help make this happen.
