3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2024

A few times when I have used cruise control my car suddenly accelerates and takes me slamming on my break for a few seconds to disengage to slow down, almost causing me to crash into someone. I have not taken my car to a shop to have it looked at. There were no warning lights or messages when it happened.

4 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2022

I have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk. It has been in the shop many times due to poor manufacturing and recalls. Prior to me purchasing the vehicle in may 2020, it was involved with a recall for a water leak and powerlift gate short due to water damage. It has leaked water into the hatch/ trunk area since I purchased it. I have spoken with 2 dealerships about the issue. The most recent was November 1, 2022 when it was left with rockwall Chrysler. My issue is that the electronic parking brake module was damaged to due heavy rain and the continued leak. On October 30, 2022, we were trying to leave in the Cherokee and the service brake warning light was on as well as service shifter. The vehicle was stuck due to a malfunctioning parking brake. After multiple attempts, the brake disengaged and I continued to work. October 31, when I started the vehicle the following warning/ service lights were on and remains service brake light (2 different lights) acc/fcw not available / service auto start/ stop unavailable/service airbag warning light (went off 11/3/22) 4wd unavailable/service on my drive home from work, the electronic parking brake engaged while I was turning across traffic and I almost was hit by a large delivery truck. Once I managed to get the vehicle to drive, it happened again on the highway service road and I was very close to being rear ended by an 18 wheeler that was driving behind me. The dealership did no repairs due to the $575. 00 charge I cannot pay to diagnose and do a leak test. I explained this was involved with a recall and they basically told me it was fixed in with canada or ohio and I needed to return to that dealer (I live in TX). Which is not possible because the vehicle is sitting in my drive way and will not move due to the brake being stuck on. I picked the unrepaired vehicle up on 11/3/22 and was advised its best to get rid of as soon as possible. The problem is that I owe roughly $13,000 on the Jeep. I cant afford this and a rental.

5 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2021

In the last 3 weeks I start my 2015 Jeep Cherokee as usual, shortly after driving when trying to accelerate from a stop the battery light comes on and the dash says cannot switch gears unless in park. The car then stalls and I have to shift into park and restart ,the scary issue is that I am sometimes stuck and cant move until I can restart the vehicle. There is only 57,000 miles on this vehicle .

6 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2020

While driving on a freeway in November 2020 I had engaged the cruise control and set it at the speed limit of 70 mph. A semi truck changed into my lane without blinker warning. I slammed on the brakes but the cruse control would not disengage. I then began pumping the brakes and still no disengagement. As I approached the back end of the semi prior to hitting it, I drove off the freeway down the descending embankment still pumping the brakes without disengaging the cruise control. As I began sliding down the embankment I brakes disengage the cruise control just before a collision with the divider.
