Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2015 Jeep Cherokee

There has been two separate occasions this has occurred. The last occurrence resulted in a car wreck . The first occurrence I was driving out of a public parking lot and had feet on breaks and engine rived up and keep going into traffic but car saw me coming and switched lines. This second occurrence I was parking the car in a parking space with my feet on the breaks and the car rived up even with me hitting the breaks jumped the curb and I and the car ended up through the window of a store. No one was hurt but car damaged and in the shop for repairs. Police came to the seen and deemed it an accident. I did not see any warning lights or messages prior to either of these events. Report #wc2400651 / unable to upload as I don't have a copy.

My 2015 Jeep Cherokee limited has a parking brake issue. My parking brake will not disengage, the car will not move forward or back, the warning lights are lit up on the dashboard. My Jeep is inoperable due to this issue. This has happened before in parking lots, etc but I was always able to pull over and disengage. That is not the case this time as had the car towed to the Jeep dealership and diagnosed as the parking brake module is faulty, the part is back oprdered for months and will cost over $1700 to repair.

Shuddering, crank shaft failure, engine stall, car shifts into emergency brake. Loss of motive power can cause vehicle crash without warning. Vehicle not yet inspected. Similar vehicles with recall under “safety recall w58 / NHTSA 20v-475 loss of crankshaft position”.

Electronic emergency brake locked up while reversing, just went on by itself, unable to move car and I couldn’t get it off or get in a gear to move the car at all I had myself and my grandbaby in the car at the time now the odometer is flashing and the “a” button that would shut engine off at a light, but no warning lights before this incident - a message is showing now “service emergency brake” along with the icons that go with the emergency brake I called Dodge service center from my car, no help, just suggested it be towed in -they said never heard of it doing that, has to be looked at been searching this problem seems I’m not the only one this has happened to.

Water fills up in the spare tire component which corroded the emergency brake box. I took it to the local sunoco to fix they contacted Chrysler and was told to give the car back to me as is I should have it fixed by the dealership. My car is currently at a dealership and they’re telling me I have to pay $1600 for the repair. But if you google this is a common problem with this vehicle.

Went for service and they stated my epb is not engaging properly, they could tell water was in the spare tire well at some point. . . . I bought this car in 2019 & was never told of this possible problem this incident obviously happened before the date of this complaint, but I was not aware until service technician told me on 2/21/2023 "power going to park brake module---no power out" thank you for your time.

Electric emergency brake system will not disengage. Started my vehicle and it stated check parking brake and the red light was also on. I thought someone hit the brake button so I hit it and the light went off. I was able to drive my Jeep a few feet to unlock the gate to our property. I put the Jeep in park got out to open the gate and when I got back in the orange light came back on to check the park brake. I tried clicking it off and it would not go off. I then could not move my Jeep forward or backwards. Because of this we had to have the Jeep towed to local dealership to review. It is there as we speak. They told us looks to be the brake module. I will have documentation once the repair is complete.

Loss of power to all things electrical 10/10/2022. My son was left stranded in memphis as a result, leaving him in a dangerous situation. The car was towed to a Jeep/Chrysler dealership in collierville, TN on 10/19/2021. I’ve attached the invoices below and of the parts they’ve replaced. Before beginning work the dealership was unable to release the emergency brake x 2 days. It’s is January 4, 2022 & the car is still at the dealership still with no power. Their next suggested part is an ignition switch that is on back order. I’ve read several other reports concerning power loss abruptly in the Jeep 2015 model. There were no warning lamps or symptoms of failure preceding the incident. Please evaluate the volume of complaints associated with this particular problem as I’ve read 100s of similar issue with this model vehicle.

No previous issues with the vehicle until this incident. That morning on my way to work my check engine light came on. I called my husband and he said he would check it out that evening. Got to work fine. When I went to go home from work my car was acting strange. The ac or blower and the radio wouldn’t come on at all until after about 15 minutes of driving. About 5 minutes later my brakes wouldn’t work at all trying to stop at a light and I ended up crashing into a car that was completely stopped while going about 35mph. My front collision detection didn’t go off until I was about an inch away from the vehicle and the automatic emergency brake didn’t engage either and normally if a car is turning slowly 30 ft ahead it will slam on the brakes. Nothing worked and I am terrified to continue driving this vehicle.

Electronic park break. Was repaired but still won’t turn off.

Service 4wd light came on gas cap light came on and it throws my parking brake on automatically when I stop and put into park. Even after transmission was replaced at 60,000 miles still have hard shifting problems as well. Vehicle died when I was at a stop light this is when the lights appeared.
