Brake Light On problems of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

4/13/2015 completed recall to replace brake booster. 4/11/2017 auto pulled out infront of me. I was going 45 mph, hit brakes hard no abs little braking ability. I avoid collision by going into oncoming traffic. I slowly pulled off to the shoulder and brake light then came on. Towed to dealer who again replace a failed brake booster. I have document if needed. But I will need to fax them.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While operating the vehicle, the brake sensor light illuminated off and on and the brake pedal felt spongy when depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a leak was present in the brake booster and the booster would need to be replaced. The contact was informed that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 14v1540000(service brakes). A water diverted shield was installed, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,400.

The brake booster failed while driving in city traffic and while braking for a traffic light, without warning and without appearance of the brake warning light on the dash. The brake booster recall 14v-154 was accomplished approx. 4 months prior.

Vehicle engine shut off during right turn in busy intersection without any warnings. Unable to turn or control vehicle. Also the brake on lights come on in the consul during normal operation. Based on other Jeep model recalls, I believe the problem may be related to the tipm-7 module. The vehicle is a Grand Cherokee overlander 4wd. Vehicle was able to be restarted and has not had another failure, however, this is an unsafe driving situation when the vehicle's engine dies while in motion in any road condition. Maybe related to recalls p54.

I had brought my Grand Cherokee in for a recall I received. I was told that I needed a booster and shield for my brakes & they would call me when the parts came in but the car was safe to drive. On 8/13 I called to follow up since I hadn't heard anything from the dealer & was told the parts were on back order and they weren't sure when the parts would be in but again told the car was safe to drive. I explained to them I was hearing air when I pressed on the brake they said that was the booster but it was fine. On 8/15 at 6am on my way to work I was doing 75mph with the flow of traffic. The car infront of me slammed on his brakes I did the same, but my car didn't stop. Thankfully it was early enough that I was able to swerve an not crash or die! I then got to work and had my car towed to the closest dealer, I wasn't given the option of a rental car until that evening and with my work hours I was not able to get a rental until Monday. I picked up my car on 8/22 after they were able to track down the booster &shield. On my way home about 20min into the drive my traction light and check engine light came on. I took the car to my local dealer & they told me that when the dealer who fixed the booster and shield didn't do the recall properly & didn't adjust the the brake switch properly. I was driving with my brake lights on & the lights stayed on even when I was outside the car. They told me I was lucky that the car didn't power down on me & shut off. They dealer where I was fixed the brake switch thankfully, but more importantly the booster blew on my car and I almost died!!! I feel someone needs to know about this and hope that putting it on here will make people aware that with this recall the car is not safe to drive. I was lucky, but someone else may not be.

I started my vehicle up on a cold morning, -5 degrees. Brought vehicle up to 40mph, applied the brakes, noticed the pedal was stiff. Brakes weren't working, and dashboard brake warning light was on. Managed to stop and park vehicle. Brought to dealership last night (2/14/14) where vehicle was diagnosed with bad brake booster. Upon further investigation online, brake boosters were affected by cold whether all over the northeast part of the country. Vehicle was extremely difficult to stop. Service manager seemed familiar with the problem and reported that parts were being ordered from the manufacturer. I feel obligated to report this situation with the hope that something will be done about this problem before someone gets hurt.
