Leaving my driveway the e-brake activated and I could not deactivate the unit. Called aaa to have the Jeep towed to contemporary automotive. The tow truck driver had a difficult time putting the Jeep on the ramp truck. I am fortunate I was not going 50mph. The service adviser said the problem with the e-brake was that a sunroof drain hose was kinked and water cause the e-brake fail.

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?.

We have had this Jeep for one year. The the first repair was to service the brakes system after 1200 miles. Today same thing again. I got in my Jeep to run an errand and started the car pressed on the brake to place the car in reverse and hear a hissing sound under the dash. The brake booster failed again I know this because its happened at 1200 miles also and the dealer replaced it already.

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.

Since the very beginning driving 2014 Jeep the transmission slips. Taking it back to the dealer service dept for all maintenance asking them to check the trans have complained of the slipping and told every time it is way the trans works. I have 60k miles on this vehicle I am concerned that the trans will fail while I am on the road and cause a deadly accident. 8/10 I had an app't for an oil change. I requested a vehicle check and check brakes as they did not seem to be working as they should. Was informed the vehicle needed front/back brakes and that rotors needed replaced. I only traveled about 15 miles when I heard a clinking sound in left rear it sounded as if a lug nut loose when I stopped the rear of my vehicle lowered and when moving it sounded like a bucket of metal in my rear wheel. I turned into a parking. When backing up the vehicle froze I stopped, called service department of freedom. I had my vehicle towed back to the service dept. Was told issue was brakes were not installed/secured properly. I asked that all the brakes be inspected, if the tech did not know how to install one there was a concern for the other 3 wheels I did not want to take a chance of having a fatal crash. I also asked that all work be reinspected. When explaining what had happened it was obvious rep was speaking beyond scope of her knowledge � this was very frustrating I was placed in a very dangerous situation due to the poor workmanship of the tech. The story did not make sense the more she tried to explain it was more convoluted. I was transferred to the service mger who explained what happened, admitted that brake failure was tech's fault. In light of all the times I have had the Jeep into service dept complaining about trans does not give me a level of confidence that there is not something significant with the trans I would like an investigation into this matter.

My 2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude at 41000 miles had a brake failure. Now at 51000 miles the engine has been stalling while in motion and shifting into neutral. The dealership told me after the 2nd time in for this problem that the vehicle was 3. 5 quarts low on oil and the engine had shut off to "protect itself" . The car has been parked for in my garage for 3 days, after driving it for about 3 miles the check engine light came on, upon checking it is again low on oil. I have had the car serviced as recommended and don't understand this sudden oil use, there are no signs of leakage or smoking, and the warning system is not indicating low oil pressure. It is going back to the dealership Monday morning.

Each time I have been driving the vehicle when the brakes failed without warning the last time (4th time) my car was in the shop because the tranmission seal had a leak. While the mechanic was test driving the car the brakes failed with him. When I have had been driving the Jeep and the brakes failed I was pulling into different locations and the brakes would fail and not stop the car. The brake were as hard as a rock and just simply would not stop the car. I feel after 4 times this car is not repairable and I am now mentally anquished with driving it I am afraid the brakes will fail again and I might get into an accident because of the brake issue and possibly get hurt, killed, kill someone else this is without a doubt a safety issue. The mechanic at the dealership has even said the car is not safe. I have a case number with the Chrysler manufacturer on the case. It is# 35139860.

Brakes failed due to vaculm pump failure. Checked recalls and safety recall #318t was issued July 1991. Chrysler states there are no parts and therefore will not effect recall.

Brake booster failure. Dealer states "low assist". Jeep has no stopping power at all, pedal is hard and vehicle just keeps rolling. Parts are nationally backordered. From what I'm reading online this is a large scale problem. Moisture is getting in the booster and freezing, causing brakes to fail. I have a case number open with Jeep.

I currently lease a 2012 Jeep grand Cherokee laredo and the other day my wife and son were driving the car and the brakes completely failed. They would not depress even at 5-10 mph and if completely slammed to the floor the abs would pump bake fighting the brake pressure. They went through a red right and luckily were not hurt. Later the brakes begin working and we dropped it off at the service center. Once there they test drove it and almost crashed as the brakes would not work. They said it needs a new brake booster, but the part is on back order and there are actually 3 other cars at that service station which needs the same part. I have read a couple posts on various websites with people having the same issue. I was wondering if others have experienced the same issue? (on another note no one has been able to help us with either a loaner car or paying for a rental as the car has 38k miles so technically out of warranty. . So that's been fun). Thanks.

I was driving on a slick surface, as it was raining, lightly. The person driving in front of me stopped short at a yellow light and I applied my brakes. My brakes failed and I crashed into the vehicle, my airbag deployed, and my front end was smashed. I was told it was a total. My brakes should have done what they were supposed to do - work.
