Brake Sensor Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

The forward collisin control was turned on. It started beeping when no one was near me at all from any side of vehicle. Then the brakes slammed like it was preventing a rear end collisin by my vehicle. My car slid to a stop at approximately 40 miles an hour. It scared the crap out of me and I have had that safety sensor option turned to off ever since this incident.

The Jeep randomly won't start and brake pedal is firm this stranded me 6 times and dealer can't figure out because nothing displays and then it works I have heard sensors and brake boosters but neither are on recalls.

Vehicle at day one of purchase shows a acc/fcw radar sensor warning and company is well aware of many of these cars showing the same issues, yet cares notto do anything about the issue being raised. . .

When slowing the vehicle it will just silently shuts off. This happens usually at the same 5 places, 3 of them when slowing to make a right hand turn in an s turn and the other 2 going straight slowing to stop to make a left turn across traffic. I feel like it's a combination of braking, steering wheel and when its shifting into 1st since I'm either in a stopping situation or s turn situation. When this happens I loose steering and brakes causing me to go into the opposite lane of travel head on. There have been recalls on the alternator for my vehicle but mine has never been included. There has been a recall for a sensor that has been completed but did not solve the problem. This is a serious issue, my chance for a head on collision is very very scary. This happens about 6-10 times a week.

My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ,shut down while I was driving in the issaquah fall city road . Steering wheels locked and brakes failed and everything shut down. I barely made it to the walgreens parking lot where the vehicle completely died to the point where even the keys wouldn't work . I barely made it alive . I am glad I didn't crash into anyone . I had to tow the vehicle later in the day to the dealership . They asked me to drop it off at their garage . Today they got back to me saying , there was an open recall on the vehicle and that caused the alternator to fail and shut down everything . They said because it's an open recall they would fix it themselves as it's covered under some warranty . But they also told me that there is an issue with some oil pressure sensor and the awd system is stuck in awd and they will have to fix it and have me a parts and labor charge of 2000 usd which I have to bear . Is this normal practice . I don't know how the awd system suddenly got into this state . If it's a result of the alternator issue caused by the open recall , wouldn't they manufacturer/dealer have to bear it . . Thanks !!.

My vehicle has active collision protection. The system is awesome however it seems like when you apply the brake the vehicle assumes your depth perception and senses will avoid a collision. I think the vehicle computer and sensors should still make the ultimate decision to stop the vehicle. Also, should there not be a sensor for temperature in this system to take into account the possibility for ice and snow? thank you.

Multiple problems with the forward collision warning (fcw) and adaptive cruise control (acc) systems 1) system will issue false brake warnings (and apply brakes if enabled) on clear straight roads with no other cars or obstructions. 2) system will disable itself at random intervals disable itself for a period of time (10-20 minutes). Only notification is brief "fcw/acc system disabled" notification in gauge cluster - no audio warning that important safety system disabled itself. 3) when using acc, when vehicle resumes set speed after autonomous braking, vehicle will accelerate into back of next vehicle ahead - have to manually intervene and apply brakes to prevent collision. Note that this vehicle uses a bosch lrr3 radar sensor system for the fcw and acc features. Vehicle has been into Jeep dealers for service for this issue five times, and even after opening star case with Jeep/Chrysler fca, still no fix for this serious safety issue.

My 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee is equipped with sensors that can activate the braking if the car detects a collision. It seems as though these sensors are too sensitive and cause the car to slam on the brakes when there is no need for it. I have experienced my car slamming automatically slamming on my brakes in the middle of the road seemingly because I was making a lane change and the vehicle in front of me was not moving. Lucky there were no vehicles behind me otherwise it would have surely caused a severe accident! this was on a busy street in the middle of the day. . . Very dangerous!.

The summit model is equipped with driving sensors that actuate the automatic braking. When backing out of my driveway which has a slight incline, the brake alarm goes off and the brakes suddenly engage. I had the 2015 model (fca replaced under lemon law) and the alert system never went off. (video available).

For several months my vehicle has been shutting off while I am driving due to the key fob popping out of place. I went to the dealer in January 2015 and was told the part is not ready and to call for an update. I have called and been back several times only to be placed on a waiting list. I have been contacting them and getting the same response the part is not available. On 9/16/2015 while operating the vehicle I noticed the navigation/radio console start to pixilate and become inoperable then the console blacked out, after that the entire dash board lit up and I received several system warnings (service gauges, park assist disabled, check sensors, service suspension, my engine light and wipers came on, I was unable to signal, use my lights or turn off the wipers) all of this happened while I was driving. I made a right turn into the parking lot out of fear at this time I heard the key fob pop back and the car completely powered down and I was unable to break because the brakes locked up. The parking lot was semi-empty so I was able to maneuver until is rolled to a stop. I thought I was going to die. I need a resolution now, I still have two years worth of payments left and I want this problem resolved.

I was driving approximately 40 mph on w. Maple rd in troy, mi in the middle of the afternoon on February 18, 2015. There was minimal traffic on the road and no one in front of me in my lane or the lane next to me. Suddenly, my dash lit up to brake and the car started braking on it's own. It happened so quickly that I wasn't even sure what it was. It happened again about a mile down the road. Again the system applied the brakes and the warning word brake flashed on my dashboard when there was nothing near me. It happened quickly and then the car went back to normal without me doing or changing anything in the car. I brought it to the suburban Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealership in troy and they said they were not able to recreate. No codes were activated in the computer and there were no service bulletins about it so there was nothing they could do. I took the car home and the same thing happened again to me five days later driving at approximately the same speed. This time the dealership kept the car longer, drove it 119 miles, used the miller tool kit to align the camera and still found nothing wrong. The following week, it happened again and I returned to the dealership. This time they replaced the front sensor and bubble aligned. The only thing that the dealership found was that on one of the test drives they couldn't get the acc system to work at all and still no reports showed up on the computer. The next test drive all systems were working, again no report on the computer of the change. The dealership still could not duplicate the problem but they thought that they fixed it. In may, it happened again. It occurred while I was merging onto the expressway traveling at 63mph. I returned the car to the same dealership and again it was returned to me without being able to diagnose or fix the problem.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the front alarm braking sensor illuminated and the vehicle would come to a complete stop. The failure recurred five times. The vehicle was take to a dealer where it was diagnosed but could not find the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileages was 15,000. Aw.

1) driving ~ 45 mph. 2) parking/crash detection sensor on the front driver side makes audible noise for 2 seconds, then noise ceases - this parking/crash detection issue was reported to the dealership 3 days prior. 3) all consoles go blank, to include speedometer (which is digital), temperature, navigation, etc. (driver & center consoles) - hands free phone call linked within the vehicle disconnects midway through call at this time as well. 4) engine appears operational, but seems to be in a lower gear and acceleration is problematic, brakes are sluggish. 5) electrical system in the vehicle reboots while driving ~10 seconds later, displaying multiple warning messages (check engine light, low battery voltage, no abs, suspension system, etc. ). 6) pulled the car over at the first safe location ~1/4 mile. 7) vehicle would not go into park, applied emergency brake and turned vehicle off. 8) restarted vehicle, check engine and low battery voltage light remains on, but vehicle appears stable enough to drive ~2 miles home.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the push button start was not funtioning properly and the failure progressed to the point that the vehicle stalled several times and also would not start. The contact had to tow the vehicle several times due to the intermittent failure. The fuel pump sensor and the service engine sensor illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who replaced the fuel pump and the failure recurred. The dealer also reset the sensors more than twice and they still illuminated. The dealer suggested an interim fix of filling the fuel half way. The contact was included in NHTSA campaign id number: 14v530000 (fuel propulsion system) however the part and the remedy was not available to repair the vehicle. The contact was also waiting for two other recalls to be performed and the parts were not available for NHTSA campaign id number: 14v39100 (visibility) and 14v154000 (brakes). The contact was waiting for an appointment to remedy all three recall repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

Fuel/propulsion: the vehicle will run after starting for 5-8 minutes then the rpm's drop to 300 and acts like its going to stall; then. The car begins bucking, jerking, and revving up. There are loud clunks from the engine compartments. I have replaced the cam & crankshaft sensors, throttle position sensor and no change yet. Next I am going to replace the fuel pump, filter, the fuel line between them. Air bags: the airbag light goes on and off. The only fix I have read about is the clock spring. . . Talk about money pit!! brakes: yes. Front brakes have locked up and caused issues. Discs and calipers have been replaced. Also, driver's side break light is not functional. The tail lights work, but once the brake is depressed, the right and top lights work, but the driver's light is off. And just for fun. . . I've had to replace both side mirrors due to internal springs failing as well as both front window regulators and motors. When I went to autozone to get parts, they correct window regulator was under the 2000 model year; 1999 did not fit. We are gonna get rid of this Jeep. . . Chrysler needs a lesson in taking responsibility. We'll buy a Toyota.

Purchased 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland used in summer of 2012. 3rd Jeep and have stayed with Jeep because felt they were a safe reliable car. Shortly after purchase the car would sound like it was "computing" near the engine--while off and key not near car. Told this was normal. Alarm started to go off for no reason, day time running light on driver side stopped working (not bulb) and started working a few days later on its own. Car no start or hard start several times. Check engine lights on and off, key not found, etc. 5/19/14 exiting highway at approx. 75 mph (59,000 miles) brakes don't work. Car slows but won't stop. No light illuminated for brake problem. It was petrifying. Called dealer in morning and they indicated not warranty and not recall so ordered brake booster from dealer and replaced. Was without vehicle for several days. 5/28/14 driving approx. 75 on highway--dash lights flash, car shakes and shudders uncontrollably, screen reads service air suspension system and etc code. Exit highway car has no suspension. Stop make phone call and restart car and no lights, warnings, and suspension back. Driving 35 mph on busy city street (in front of school) car dash flashes and goes black--a red lightning bolt appears and the car shuts off while driving. No brakes, power steering, hazard lights, suspension, etc. I was terrified! pushed down accelerator and car starts back up (similar to depressing gas peddle on golf cart). Took to dealer and they replaced a brake sensor and the suspension worked. Said they could not replicate the car shutting off while driving. Tipm must be the cause based on 1000s of owners comment. Filed complaint with Chrysler today. Frightened for my safety and the safety of other cars, people, etc. Drive over 100 miles per day on highway. Can't obtain tipm part. Must use car to work but safety concerns with driving.

At approx. 110k miles the esb, trac and bas indication lights came on and would not turn off. The dealership checked and said that the brake pressure sensor and steering angel sensors had to be replaced.

This Jeep was replaced because the prior Jeep was lemon lawed. The engine light appeared after about 3 weeks of purchase, the car was brand new. Like the last Jeep, it would stall causing loss of power brakes and power steering. The electrical system would also freeze (navigation and radio) constantly and would not fix itself unless the battery was unplugged. Shave Jeep in thousand oaks, CA upgraded the engine and navigation software, but problems resumed short after. Shaver Jeep then informed me that they would only look at the vehicle if the engine light was on. The engine light would go on and off so it was hard to time it right to bring it into the shop. Because of this "rule," shaver Jeep will not acknowledge that the car has been brought in for repair 7 times. As of today, the car stalled on a busy freeway and put the passengers in danger. Constant engine code: crankshaft position sensor.

I bought a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 limited edition. I bought 4 new tires the day of the purchase. The tpms-tire pressure monitoring system began failing a short time thereafter. The light in the dashboard flashed telling me my tire pressure was low on various tires. My wife was the sole driver of the Jeep and she was constantly calling telling me a tire was flat. She worked evening hours. I took the Jeep into les schwab for repair. They advised me the price for the sensors was more than the price of the vehicle. I was constantly putting air in the tires and had to reset the vehicle service mileage.
