While driving abs, check engine, parking brake light up. Brakes start to shake like if a tire is slipping but its not. Steering wheel gets stiff. Transmission shifts very hard, all symptoms go away if the car is warm sometimes. Its impossible to predict when it will start doing all of these symptoms at once. We have not taken the vehicle up to high speeds until we take it to get checked out by the dealer.

While either slowing to a stop or accelerating from a stop, the vehicle "jerks", or "lunges". Though I apply the pedals smoothly (gradually), the car moves as if I were pumping the brake at ~1 second intervals. Because the car is in drive and my foot is not on the brake, this causes drivers behind me to get awfully close (as my brake lights do not signal that I am stopping). This happens chronically (>1x /week).

Jeep dealers have been unresponsive in resolving/fixing recall w47 leading to the lack of functionality of my Jeep Cherokee 2015, requiring tow from chester, MD to alexandria, va given the vehicle could no longer be driven. Dealer now suddenly has "recall fix" (not available after 9 previous calls/messages between 7/21/2020 - 8/22/2020 when dealer reps never returned a message/call). They claim as of today (after Jeep was dropped at dealer by tow truck), the recall fix has been done - but say the transmission light is still on and needs to be repaired/paid for by the customer. I believe this could be further result of not fixing a dangerous recall situation which could have damaged the car beyond the recall related to front wheels, transmission, loss of power, loss of park function. My vehicle stopped running, all transmission service/abs and parking brake service lights went on simultaneously and the Jeep rolled backward until I turned it off. Thankfully I had gotten off of busy highway and experienced this at an exit and then parking lot where I waived other drivers around me, parked the vehicle and then it was placed on a flat bed tow truck. Dealers are not taking this recall seriously. More details attached. The issue has not yet been resolved by ourisman alexandria where my vehicle was towed and is still located.

I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude it has over 100,000 miles over it I just recently had the transmission service which was no more than fluid change. Recently while driving to a restaurant to pick up some dinner the parking brake service light came on yellow indication came on I was just driving normal weather no snow no rain sitting in line at the drive-thru. I pulled into a parking spot to place it in park and to see if I could release the parking brake as the parking brake indicator light was on. Once I place the vehicle in park the emergency parking brake engaged the brake light came on and it will not release. Had the vehicle towed to my house which is less than a mile away call the dealership and they just kept asking for codes there was no codes to be given. I have tried many solutions including of disconnecting the battery pulling the fuses I have pulled the brake module from the back now that there was a little moisture in there. I tried it out and ride it let it sit a day or two. The brake will not release. Local dealership wants me to bring it in for an expensive diagnosis. After jacking up the vehicle myself I was able to determine that it was only the driver side that will not release. I was also told by the dealer that if I just rocked it between reverse and drive that it would release. It did release once but I literally had to drive with the parking brake on until it did let's not do that again. I replace the module with one I found online from another Jeep Cherokee and it did not correct the problem. Local dealerships have no idea have never heard of it was no help whatsoever.

2015 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk. Was parked when service brake light came on and wouldn't allow vehicle to drive. Could not disengage the parking brake for almost 2 hours. Did this several times within 2 days. Set up service at dealership and they said water was getting into the parking brake modular and corroding it in the wiring harness the parking brake modular and corroding it and the wiring harness.

Car will turn off. Turn the key and pull it out, car stays running. When this happens, car is in a possessed state where brake lights stay on at all times, turn signals do not work, wipers do not work, horn does not work. Took it to dealership and was told there are no codes, so nothing they can do. Pull the battery cable off to shut the car down. This will happen mid drive so all of a sudden you'll lose your turn signals, wipers, horn, brake lights, door locks, and main light control. When you pull over, only way to turn the car off is to pull the battery cable.

My electronic parking brake malfunctioned. The vehicle was parked in a driveway and turned off without activating the parking brake. When I returned to the vehicle and restarted it the parking brake was engaged and would not turn off. In addition, the red �brake� light, and yellow electronic park brake warning light on the dashboard appeared; the odometer was flashing; and, �service four-wheel drive� appeared on the dashboard message window. After several attempts flipping the parking brake switch from the on and off positions, then holding the switch in the "off" position for several seconds, the parking brake did disengage. All of the lights remained on. Each time the car was placed back into "park" the parking brake would re-engage, and I needed to go back through the same process to disengage the parking brake. I brought the car in for service due to the issue on 9/13/19 at a certified Jeep dealer/technician. The technician advised that the cause of the problem was corrosion of the electronic parking brake module located in the rear of the vehicle, due to water somehow accessing this area. Importantly, the technician could not identify how water got into the area. The technician replaced the corroded module and wiring harness. The technician advised that they could not guarantee that the issue would not re-occur as they did not know how water accessed the parking brake module, but that they had resealed the entire area and were hopeful this would be a permanent fix. I have not had any issues in approx. 60 days/2000 miles since having the module replaced. The cost of the parts and labor to replace the module was $963. I believe this to be a latent defect which adversely impacts the safety of the vehicle.

Purchased the vehicle brand new in November 2018 and on several occasions within the past couple months, including today, the red brake light on the dash has spontaneously activated. Most of the time it occurs when I come to a stop light and auto shut off kicks on, however, this issue is very serious since its basically stalling my vehicle while in route, and is very scary since I drive my child around. I've also taken it into the dealership to have it looked at and they are unable to determine the issue, which is extremely disheartening.

While driving on a 4 lane highway at 65 mph the vehicle partially lost power and would not accelerate, up shift, or ownshift, the brake lights started flashing, along with many other lights on the dash including check engine. I pulled over to the side of the highway and shut off the Jeep. I waited a minute then started it back up. The service parking brake message was on the message center, the odometer is blinking, and 4wd is temporarily unavailable. I had it looked at by a mechanic and they showed me the park brake module had water intrusion and was very much corroded.

While I am in movement driving my vehicle. Without any warning lights popping up in my dashboard. My vehicle suddenly stops. It has happened to me while I was driving in the highway and a semi truck was driving behind me. I hit my brakes fast enough so that the semi truck could react in time, but otherwise I could it have gotten impacted from the back which I am sure. It would it have cause more than just and accident. The date this happened I noticed the car kind of slowed down its velocity fast and dramatically when it stop. It was still running, no smoke or anything coming out of the hood. I did noticed that the heater felt extremely hot more than normal which it also made me panic a bit. She shift gear I wasn't able yo move it at all. They had advised me at the dealership one of the mechanics that sometimes, if this happened; to turn the car off for 10 mins and then turn it back on. I did that, that night and when the car turn back of the stability ligh warning came on, the brakes light came on, the engine ligh came on, the emergency parking light came on, but this this I was was able to move the shift stick but I could only drive forward. I tried to reverse and go back but it wasn't letting me. My sensors were beeping as if I was near or close to hitting something. When my car was the only one in the highway. One of the things that I noticed while seating in my car. This normally happens to my SUV when it's very cold outside. We are talking -4 degrees, but I am surprised because this is a 2019 vehicle that I have and I have only had it for 5 months. I have taken it in for service 4 tmes and they supposedly fix the issue but now it has happened again and I don't feel safe in that vehicle. A vehicle that stops out of nowhere, definitely not safe. I am not only putting myself in danger, but I feel like I am putting everyone around me driving in danger.

Vehicle locked up after stepping on brake at stop light. Dash lights started blinking off and on.

While driving about 60 mph the car lost all acceleration and slowed very quickly, the engine light came on and the assist emergency brake light came on ( I think that was what it said. As I pulled to the road side there was little no rpms . I shut the car off and waited , restarted and still no rpms. I disconnected the battery after googling the problem and restarted and lights where all gone . This was great for about 4 days and maybe 300 miles and again it happened . This time I had my cade reader and received a p1dcd code, I did not clear code but shut engine down and restarted. The car ran with rpms ok but was a bit sluggish . I called dealer when I got home and they said I would have to pay for them to do a diognostic test to figure what the problem is. I drive my kids in the mornings and feel this could lead to a serious accident . I dont feel safe driving it myself let alone my children with me.

The brakes light will randomly come on and the brakes lock and nothing can be done. You're stuck. It came on while driving yesterday and I was unable to press the brake pedal. It started initially April 2018 and the dealership kept it for weeks- but was evasive on what the actual problem was. Whatever was done -did not resolve the issue. Ive found multiple online forums with people discussing the same issues. . Read more...

I leased the vehicle on 6/17/15. Within a week the service park brake light came on briefly. Dealership said was a fluke. A few days later. Back sensor beep would not turn off while driving. Dealership said it was a fluke. A day later power lift gate wouldnt work for a day. Dealership said it was a fluke. When I called the dealership the first time they proceeded to tell me car was sold to me with a reprogramming airbag recall so I took in to get fix & have other items looked at. They never looked at other issues. A week later service brake light came back on I took in immediately. After 3 days sitting in the shop they said 25 codes came up & not sure how to fix. After a week of them having the car they said it was fixed. After 10 hrs of having back the transmission light came on. I took back to service & the mgr said car is unsafe and would request a new vehicle for me that would take 6 wks to get. He also told me the dealership they got my vehicle from had issues w/car and never said anything. In the week I havent had the vehicle ive been given 6 loaner cars. 1 of which broke down with service park brake & transmission lights on and could not shift. I have demanded Chrysler to cancel my lease and return my funds owed.

Less than 90 days after buying a new Jeep Cherokee I watched it towed away b/c it was un-driveable. It began in the morning when the gears were not shifting appropriately. Then a few hours later, the engine would rev, and car would speed up, even though I wasn't pushing gas pedal. Then reverse failed. Then the parking brake light came on. Finally, it stopped shifting up -- I had to floor it to go 5 miles an hour. I ultimately had to coast home.

My wife was driving the car all day long the brake light would come on and off after picking up my children she was going by the dealership and decided to turn in because the brakes were acting funny and has she got into the dealership she had a total breakdown you're the guy looking at the car was in amazement that she made it there safely he had no idea how she made it there safely.

70 mph on intersate hwy, suddenly emergency brake comes on. Car immediately brakes to 35 mph before car can be moved to emergency lane. Mil light is on, emergency brake light is on, transmission gear light is flashing, screen command says "park the car, service transmission and parking brake". Emergency brake light on console is off. Ignition turned on and off 6-8 times, try to drive, car won't move. Cycling ignition and transmission shifter car suddenly starts working normally except for mil light. Scan revels no codes. Car runs fine for two weeks and again at 70 mph on interstate the emergency brake comes almost stopping the car in slow lane. Repeated the procedure referenced above for about 5 minutes until the car started running normally. Mil was on for 50 miles but no codes stored or freeze frame. This occurred 5 days after having recall r05 performed, rrt 14-040, and pcm update.

Was stopped at a red light in an intersection when my instrument cluster/screen lit up with the following: cel on abs/brake lights on service parking brake on 4x4 system disabled odometer flashing upon all those messages/lights coming on we lost all power steering control to the vehicle. Speedometer was not functioning while attempting to move the vehicle out of the interaction into a nearby parking lot. Once safely parked in the parking lot we turned off the car and turned it back on again to the same messages/lights turning on. We regained power steering after we turned it off and back on but all other issues persisted. Called for a tow back to the dealership. Chrysler claimed it was a bad abs module. I am filing a safety complaint for poor electrical design if an abs module has the ability to bring down the entire computer system in the 2014 Cherokee this can pose a serious hazard to all vehicle operators.

The contact stated the brakes were unresponsive when applied. The brake light warning light was also illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 304,074.

Near miss rear end collision due to brake lights and turn signal lights working intermittently. At times either the turn signals left and right will not work or the left and right rear brake light lamp assemblies will not work. Found a electrical grounding issue with left and right rear lamp assembly with regards to brake lights. With regards to the turn signals working intermittently problem unresolved. In addition, when vehicle is parked and locked at night the headlights and tail lamps come on and off for unknown reason.
