After going through an auto car wash the brakes failed and the car rolled into a pole while pulling up to a vacuum station about 50 yards from the exit. i believe the abs system notified the car that it was in a slide because the rear wheels continue to rotate while the front wheels are not rotating while being pulled through the car wash tracks. therefore tricking the system into thinking it should not brake when brakes were applied.
The vehicle was purchased new in may 2019 currently has 2700 miles on the odometer. i was traveling along the highway and began hearing a loud noise that seemed to be emanating from my undercarriage. i drove to first off-ramp to inspect and discovered a part of the braking system had broken. the vehicle was no longer drivable and had to be towed to a dealership. later, the service writer informed me that a caliper had broken and that damages would be covered under warranty. i was not provided with a cause for this failure.

We leased a new 2019 jeep grand cherokee ltd on february 1, 2019. around the beginning of april we noticed that the brake pedal had to be depressed further than when it was new to stop the vehicle. each week it was getting worse to the point where now it goes all the way to the floor and does not stop with confidence. we have stopped driving it before it fails completely. waiting for service appointment with the dealer.
