was driving and pulling in next to garage heard a loud pop and brake pedal when hard and could not stop the car and hit the side of the garage. safty issue is if i was at a higher speed and light turns red would not have been able to stop the car and would have hit another car or person, there was no warning lights on till after the pop when the red brake light came on, and said service eltric brakes it has been looked at by me and it has the same iisues that the dodge dart had for the recall r63 with the brake booster geting oil in it from the vacuum tube assembly have called chrysler and they said it is not and issue but it is a safty issue
I believe the brake or something related to the brakes failed. I ran a stop sign, with no evidence of brake marks on the road. I crossed over a highway hit a side walk almost hit a house. The safety of myself and others was at extreme danger. When finally came to a stop I couldn't put my car in Park, or back in drive or shut my car off, i beleive i had no braking or something electrical failed. My car is totaled. The only light on was the airbag light before the accident.
2 weeks ago on approximately May 14th I was backing out of my drive way and my brake pedal was hard and I was barely able to stop my car. It takes approximately 3 to 4 car lengths to fully stop at 10 mph. I replaced the brakes and bled the brakes properly but I have come to the conclusion that the brake booster has gone bad. My safety and others is at risk due to the length of time it takes to stop and the lack of stopping power. I am unable to take it to a dealer as it doesn't run at the present time. The abs and park brake lights were on and the dash says to service electronic braking system. I am trying to get this fixed asap as I need transportation to and from work and I am not trying to put my wife or son in any danger.
My car stalls when cranking and has shut down before while on the interstate. I think it-??s an electrical problem no signs on the dashboard and saying key fob not detected

On a highway while about to cross an intersection the engine just shuts off when taking off. The engine hesitates and dies with no check engine lights or anything. Taking away power steering and making it harder to stop due to the engine not running.
Sudden loss of engine when making hard turns the car completely dies out and locks my steering and puts the car into a full break lock this leads to me having to try to start my car multiple times this is very dangerous considering this could be fatal when it does out I've had problems with this car and have brought it in multiple times with no fix
As I was driving about 40mph and slowing down for a stop sign, the engine died out. Locking my brakes and my steering wheel. At this very moment the gear D was blinking on the dash and telling me to put the vehicle in park. The vehicle was disables and the ignition would not start the car until after several minutes and multiple attempts. This has occurred a total of 5 times in the last 2 weeks. This is very dangerous if it occurred while I'm on the freeway or in the middle of an intersection.
The contact's husband owns a 2016 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal grinding noise when depressing the brake pedal without warning. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they found no defects with the vehicle. Soon after the inspection, the contact then stated that her daughter had informed her that the oil and the transmission warning lights illuminated. The contact had called ferman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram ' wesley chapel(24314 fl-54, lutz, fl 33559) where they were informed that a service manager would call them back; the contact had yet to hear back from the dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
While in motion the parking break can engage at any speed and it's placement on the car itself is dangerous and jerks the car if pressed while moving therefor could cause extreme harm. For the safety of myself, any or all passengers, or drivers nearby, in the event of an accident it needs to be moved to a location that isn't not easily reachable and also not allowed to even remotely engage while moving. I only occurred whiplash and my fast thinking and luck of having the room to slow down, but otherwise it is highly dangerous and it should never engage U less the brakes are being pressed and definitely not at speeds up to or over the speed limits.
So I had my foot on the brake to punch in a number at the car wash and all of the sudden the brake did something but my car started rolling while it was in drive with my foot on the brake so and then the brake light came on and I had to like literally push the brake all the way down to the floorboard and I would take it out of gear and it would just roll with my foot on the brake so I take it to the mechanic the service Chrysler center where the car was purchased and they say it's the brake booster I went and got a second opinion because the brake booster rarely ever something that needs replaced especially on a 2016 vehicle and if it does it's only on vehicles that are over 150,000 miles or an older vehicle so I took it to another mechanic to get a second opinion and they said that it was the vacuum line to brake booster needed to be upgraded bc oil is leaking into booster and the dealership should've did that before it was sold to me and that it should be a recall and it's going to cost $717 which I cannot afford especially during this pandemic because I'm not an essential worker and I do not receive unemployment and there's only 29,000 miles on the vehicle.
Takata recall, air bag icon stays on. Gas cap icon stays on. Upon cruse control, to continue at the previous speed on incline, the brakes and dash lights began to flash. Pulled over turned car off and started back up as K was driving on the interstate.
My car was working perfectly fine until I left work today. My check engine light came on as soon as I started my car and it kept saying 'check parking brake' and 'check airbags' I couldn't put my car in drive or reverse, it wouldn't go anywhere. Possibly because the parking brake wouldn't let me drive. Very strange, as it was sudden and unexpected.... have never had a problem with parking brake or airbags.
Car had been parked for about 5 hours. When I went to restart car made a noise like it was struggling to start. Turned car off and check oil appears to be full. Went to restart car and it would not restart. Multiple attempts were made to start car and while all lights and beeping came on car would not start again over a 15 min period. Can not push break down and when push the start button nothing happens. Car has also stalled out multiple times while driving in the last year. Chrysler dealership states its due to oil and it appears car is burning oil very fast. Chrysler states that the car will not start due to a safety mechanism to not allow the engine to overheat due to low oil. As oil has appeared full and checked multiple time unsure as to why the car would do this.
My car was driving just fine until I went to reverse out of the parking spot I was parked in. I pushed the brake down to release the emergency brake and all of a sudden my brake got harder to push down. It displays on my screen the 'brake' is on but it's not. It almost feels like my brakes went out but it's so hard to push them down. Luckily it happened while I was in a parking lot rather then on a main road or even the highway. I took it to the dealership and was told it was my brake booster. It's no way after two years of having this car that anything this serious with my brakes should've happened at all.
While driving the vehicle at around 30 mph the service airbag system and service parking brake system notifications came on along with the check engine light and traction control disabling. As that happened my touchscreen in the vehicle went in and out and the car became hesitant to accelerate. I pulled over and tried to set the parking brake and then release it afterwards the car really became hard to move. Transmission just reved and the car eventually started accelerating.
Service air bag system and service parking brake notifications appeared as well as the check engine light car would not shift, the screen went in and out while the vehicle loss power and wouldn't move. The transmission just reved this car has major issues all of this happed while driving.
