Today while driving on a three lane freeway on my way to work, my car started to brake on it's own. The feature for crash prevention was turned OFF. I was traveling approximately 65 miles per hour and the nearest car in front of me was approximately 6-7 car lengths ahead. My brakes locked up on their own and then my steering wheel locked as well. My car steered to the lane to the left of me, thank goodness there were no cars next to me, and it continued to steer toward the median and all I could see were the cables and the cars coming toward me in the opposite direction. The entire time the car did not slow down and I continued to apply pressure to the brakes while attempting to turn the steering wheel to the right. Finally, I was able to turn the steering wheel and the brakes started working again, but my car jerked to the right and actually two wheels came off the road. I thought my car was about to flip when the wheels hit the road again but at this point my car started fish-tailing to the right and middle of the road. Cars around me were quickly moving to the right side of the road and horns started blowing (I want to believe the people were trying to help get other cars out of my way). Finally, I was able to stop my Jeep sideways in two lanes. After sitting there for about a minute and a gentlemen asking me is I was ok, I drove my Jeep to my office, about 1 mile down the road. I called my husband and then the dealership. I have an appointment on Wednesday to bring it in but the dealership told me that they have never heard of this happening before. I am going to post this complaint under Brakes and Steering as I want to find out if anyone else has experienced this with their Jeep.

The forward collision warning system regularly goes off on its own while driving, causing my heart to race each time it's set off accidentally. When this happens the car makes an alarming beeping sound and the brakes automatically grind. This feature should only be triggered when the car comes too close with another object on the road, however, it is randomly set off when there is no obstacle in sight. I don't know if there are other interferences on the road such as radars or alarm signals that are setting it off, but when it was pointed out to the dealer they responded that they could not find any problems with the vehicle, even after multiple times of reporting the same problem. I wanted to post my experience here, as this was the only site where I found 1 other person who had reported a similar issue. This seems to warrant a recall in my opinion, if the problem cannot be fixed, as I fear the vehicle may stop on its own one day during an unwanted situation, which could become even more dangerous if the vehicle were in the hands of a person unaware of the issue.
