1 Rearview System Braking problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2022

On more than one occasion when I was on a four-lane highway with no vehicle in front of me in my lane, while I was passing a slower moving vehicle in the outer lane, my vehicle slammed on the aes brakes and would have absolutely caused a crash if there would have been a vehicle behind me. That person could have no possibly reacted fast enough to prevent his vehicle from rear-ending my vehicle. Again, there was no one in front of me, only the vehicle in the outer-lane. As far as the rear-cross-traffic problem, my vehicle is one that is missing Chrysler's sphere and rear-parking-assist because of the chip shortage. There aren't any sensors in the back bumper at all and I'm not sure what triggers the rear-cross-traffic alert, but it does not alert until I've backed up so far from my parking space that if there was a car coming quickly it would surely hit me. This system does not work any where as quickly as any other car I've had it on in the past.

2 Rearview System Braking problem

Failure Date: 03/28/2022

While reversing out of driveway with 4. 3 deg. To 5. 5 deg. Down slope, car stopped with rear in street while displaying an apparent rear collision symbol. There was no cross traffic and a car parked along the curb on passenger side was not encroaching on driveway. Car then refused to move either further back to complete the street entry maneuver or forward to re-enter the driveway. Car was left in a dangerous position part way into the street and blocking sidewalk. Car could not be moved until ignition was turned off for 10 seconds, then turned back on. At that point car was first pulled fully forward into driveway, then successfully backed out into the street and driven off.
