Brakes Failed problems of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee

On March 29, 2019 as I was driving to work and was approaching this intersection, the light changed to yellow. When I put my foot on the brakes so that I could stop for the light, the brake pedal went to the floor. I was unable to stop for the light which turned red for me by now and I was driving at approximately 25 to 30 mile an hour. I tried pumping the brakes, but the brake pedal was positioned on the floor. As I had no other choice but to go through the red light, I kept my hand on the horn to try and avoid an accident. There were cars starting to go through the intersection, the closest car almost hit my passenger side of the car. Between that car stopping short, and me steering around them, serious injury and or death was avoided, after I past the intersection I put the car into neutral and eased on the parking brake to stop my brand-new 2019 Jeep, and then put it in park and turned the car off. By this point I was a complete and total nervous wreck. How could my brand new 2019 Jeep Cherokee latitude plus that I had been driving for thirteen days have brake failure? I have driving for 45 years and never had anything like this happen. I was a little over two miles away from work with no traffic lights or stop signs. So I started the car up (still shaking like a leaf) with the intention of driving very slowly and using the parking brake to get to work. To my surprise the brakes were working and I made it to work still shaky and scared to be in the car let alone driving in it. God was with me through this to be able to avoid any kind of accident that could have led to serious injury or death. On my drive in I have several intersections that are major highways that tractor trailers use. I have to worry that what if the brakes go out at one of these intersections?.

Fca recall. Received a notice of brake recall that could cause brakes to fail and crash, without any advanced warning. Called Jeep dealer who told me they are unwilling at this time to perform the repair, because they are giving preference to their in stock, unsold units. Dealer (fred martin superstore) refused to offer an appointment to me for this recall and said to call back in October. I contacted the manufacturer (Jeep/fca) and they called the dealer and confirmed the same. I called another Jeep dealer and was able to schedule this recall service, but the soonest they could get me in was September 10th, 2018. This all took five hours of my time and I am forced to continue to drive without this recall being performed, and a safety risk, for at least 20 more days.

Tl the contact owns a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. While the vehicle was stopped with the brake pedal depressed, the brakes failed. As a result, the contact's vehicle drove forward and crashed into the side of a second vehicle. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer and local dealer (antioch Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, ram, 105 IL route 173, antioch, IL) were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000.
