I purchased my Jeep Grand Cherokee in Jan 2016 and it had recall for the electronic shifter and brake caliper. Fca issues the recall without having parts to fix and after a month of waiting I cannot get the dealership, dick huvaere in richmond, mi to get me in to finish the repair on the recall. The dealer was no clear if the vehicle is safe to drive and they did not offer a rental while the parts are on back order.

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!

Vehicle was being parked in my garage moving slowly forward with no application of throttle and began to suddenly accelerate. Standing on the brake would not fully hold it and it went into rear wall.

The autonomous braking system on my Jeep Grand Cherokee came on for no reason at 70 miles per hour with an empty road ahead of me. I was nearly hit from the rear, very scary.

Vehicle randomly brakes unintentionally for 5 to 10 seconds - engine and steering fail all at the same time. A loud collision warning along with red alert braking indicators. I informed a local dealership several months after purchase (summer 2015). They reported no specific codes or recalls. The issue has occurred multiple times. In all occurrences the vehicle was in motion including highway and city streets. For incidents I directly recall they occurred while driving in a straight line (mostly).

Jeep was parked in our driveway which has a slight incline. Looked out of the window a few minutes after it was parked and it was out in the street. Drove it back up the driveway 6 or 7 times and put it in park. Each time the wheels rolled and it rolled down the driveway into the street. Just before this happened, I had removed a wheelchair from the back. If this had occurred sooner, I would have been run over by the car. If this had happened when transferring from the car to the wheelchair, both of us would have been hit by the door, knocked over and then run over.

My Jeep is rolling backwards when in park, wheels turned all the way to the right and emergency brake engaged. This has happened about 10 times since I purchased my Jeep in July 2015. On Jan 4th 2016 it rolled about 10 - 15 feet down a driveway and came to a rest in the gutter. It happened again on Jan 7, 2015. The Jeep was parked on a slight incline in driveways with about 1/4 inch on snow/slush. The tires are still locked in the right position both times when it came to a stop in the gutters. After the last incident I found a little driveway and parked on it. I again turned the tires all the way to the right and engaged the emergency brake and I sat and waited. 7 minutes later it started to slide down the driveway it sled about for about 5 - 8 feet before I applied the brake. This inclined driveways have been about 05 -10 feet inclines. I have had a 1996 and 2006 Jeep over the past 25 years and have never had a vehicle slide from a parked position or down a snow packed hill. I took it to the dealer and they told me to get new snow tires. This is very scary to me. If children are walking to school or joggers or a passing car someone could be seriously hurt or worse. This serious matter needs to be handled promptly.

July 2 2015 -between 5:10 - 5:30 am southbound 25 just prior to exit 217B full moon no rain / no moisture / no road debris at time of accident no Jeep indicator lights / warning - no uconnect messages no rush hour / no traffic maintenance / no construction. Left lane with no shoulder but with a concrete construction wall. We were driving with light traffic (posted speed limit 65, and we drove with the same traffic in our lane was traveling at 67, and we were approx 'at least' 2 car lengths behind the silver Mazda). Two cars ahead of us, I saw braking taillights, and I pressed on our brake to slow down due to seeing the braking lights on the second car that was in front us - not because of the car in front of us - Mazda had not engaged their brakes at that particular time).within seconds after I released the brake pedal, the Jeep continued forward at a slightly slower speed, and it was then the Mazda came to an abrupt and complete stop, that I slammed on the brakes but there was no response from the brakes (*meaning there was no substantial decrease in the forward motion I then added additional pressure on the brake pedal with no change no engagement of the braking system. I received this email the same morning after the accident happened.

I own a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland. I was informed of the NHTSA research into the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the problems individuals were having with the collision warning system and the automatic breaking. I have experienced the same problem two times. There was no vehicle or obstacle close to me and the collision avoidance system initiated the autmoatic breaking system while driving down an interstate highway. It did not cause an accident, thankfully. After the second incident, I disabled the forward collision warning system due to my fear that it would happen again and cause an accident. I was alerted to your investigation into the 2014 model but wanted to bring it to your attention regarding my 2015 model. Reference: The Office Of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received nine complaints alleging inappropriate activations of the autonomous braking system in model year (my) 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. All nine reports alleged unexpected braking incidents preceded by collision imminent brake warnings and resulting in sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic. Two complaints reported autonomous braking incidents with no objects on the road resulting in rapid increase in brake force and anti-lock braking system (ABS) activations. The complaints alleged experiencing multiple events at different locations and road conditions. A preliminary evaluation has been opened to assess the frequency, scope and consequences of the alleged defect. The following voq numbers are associated with the issues discussed in this resume: 10543837, 10713629, 10690650, 10663320, 10630362, 10596913, 10533622, 10533524, 10651269.

On multiple occasions while using the adaptive cruise control the vehicle will suddenly and unexpectedly apply the brakes when the path is clear in front of the vehicle. It would appear large objects such as a jersey barrier (common in wa) the left and large slowing traffic (a potential danger) to the right will trigger the inappropriate action and results in a dangerous situation to vehicles behind! the situation that causes the problem is not easy to reproduce, hence its surprise!

Third time of incident. While parallel parking, and shifting from reverse into drive, while foot is still on the brake the vehicle revs and lurches forward. 1st 2 times involved parking on snow/ice. Today, with a dry street and sneakers, vehicle began to rev. I attempted to shift into park to avoid lurching forward but failed to do so in time. When vehicle revs, I hold onto steering wheel and press brake with all my strength but unable to prevent the forward movement.
