Going to Pennsylvania from Georgia, wheels locked and ABS, traction and 4 wheel drive light came on. Speed limit was 70, my car just locked the wheels. Went to a dealer got problem fixed. Then coming back from Florida on 5/ 25/2019. Same thing happen again. This time the wheels locked and I slid until the car stopped. I'm a disabled veteran, have seen unsafe things. This is going to kill someone. The mechanics tell me Jeep knows this is happening. God help us that drive these vechiles. To poor to buy a new one
While driving home from wok in a Jeep Patriot 2017 on a city street the brakes would not work suddenly and the speed increased rapidly uncontrollably. Two vehicles hit me going thru an intersection and the Jeep Patriot vehicle ran into a warehouse going thru 2 metal doors and a brick wall without any air bags deploying. The Jeep Patriot completely went into the warehouse and was stopped by hitting a large pillar.
