I was driving on a paved road and needed to step on the brakes to avoid striking a vehicle in front of me. My ABS breaks failed to work and I had to swerve to avoid striking the vehicle in front of me. Immediately after this incident my ABS light and slip light illuminated on my dash board and remained on. I have the next available appointment on the 19th of February at fields Jeep in glenview and I am unable to drive this unsafe vehicle until it is repaired. With that being said I need to take off of work without pay until it is repaired.

Last Friday afternoon (12/13/19) I had a significant brake malfunction where I believe the ABS system falsely thought a wheel was locked up and released the brakes or made them much less effective during a normal stop (my interpretation of what happened ' especially after some online research). I was travelling at approx. 45 mph and the light ahead turned yellow and I pressed the brakes to stop. The brakes were ineffective, and I realized I was not going to be able to stop in time before entering the intersection. I decided to run the light and pull over on the shoulder immediately. I then proceeded to drive again in a slow fashion and apply the brakes. I had the same ineffective response. I tried a third time with the same results. I believe the ABS was being engaged falsely. I was alone in the vehicle and no cars were in front of me. I am certain that if I was on a crowded major highway and I was had to stop I would have crashed ' unnecessarily because there was no need for the ABS to engage. The above incident occurred approx. 3 hours away from my house in the vicinity of davenport. I brought the Jeep to posner Jeep who checked the vehicle and re-initialized the ABS and said they didn't find any problem. I bought the Jeep in 2015 from arrigo Dodge in tamarac and have had several issues with the ABS system and sensors. I strongly feel that the issue can happen again and can cause accidents and possibly deaths if not dealt with appropriately.

Saturday morning at approximately 10:45 a.M. driving 4.9 miles to destination I asked as we were approaching parking "do you smell smoke?" I hit the breaks but there was no breaks. And then a combustion of flames came from wheel wells and hood of Jeep. We all jumped out and called 911 and tried to put fire of Jeep out with extinguishers. With no success. Fire department put fire out.

The contact owned a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 25 mph, all the instrument panel gauges illuminated and the brake pedal felt soft. The vehicle slowed down and the contact smelled smoke. The vehicle caught fire on the driver's side of the engine compartment. The contact pulled the vehicle over, opened the door, and the fire spread. The contact had to quickly exit the vehicle. A police report was filed and the fire department extinguished the fire. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed destroyed by the contact's insurance company. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The cause of the failures was unknown. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 59,000.

Complaint issued to dealer on braking issues. Told me I would have to replace brake booster which was causing problems for $425. I declined. Problem continues every day in all conditions.

When the vehicle is under acceleration the brakes will lock-up causing an abrupt stop. The vehicle then has no acceleration power at the brakes are being applied with no input from the driver. Basically the ABS is engaging brakes without pressure applied to the brake pedal. It is likely and highly probably that this will cause a fatal or near fatal rear end collision. In traffic or when pulling into a lane of traffic it occurs without warning. ****** please address this problem. It is extremely dangerous***

2015 Jeep Wrangler, in motion, traveling straight, on highway (roads were wet from recent rain) & approaching traffic signal at major intersection. Signal changed from green to yellow. I pushed the the brake pedal to slow down. The vehicle did not respond, the Jeep did not slow down. The Jeep continued traveling straight. I pushed the brake pedal at least two more times, down to the floor. The brakes did not respond. There was a very loud "grinding" noise coming from the Jeep when I applied the brake pedal. The vehicle continued into the intersection where it came to a stop. The brakes did not slow this vehicle down, the brakes did not work! there was no control of this vehicle's speed. Dealership service dept. Checked out this Jeep the next day & found no problem with this Jeep & could not duplicate concern. When I later drove the Jeep home, the ABS light came on. Fca, Chrysler customer care was notified. Chrysler assigned a case number & case manager. The case manager informed me that she called the service/dealership (who serviced the Jeep the day after the event) and she was told by the service mgr. "Jeep is operating perfectly & is up to my satisfaction". I informed Chrysler, via phone & email, that that was not the case at all! I sent Chrysler a written, detailed report of exactly what occurred with this vehicle. I also stated that this incident could have ended very differently, with injuries and or death! I never heard from Chrysler again. As of today, Chrysler has not returned any of my phone messages.

As I was driving 55 miles an hour, the ABS light on the dash came on and the car light with the swerving lines behind it on the dash, my brakes locked up almost causing me to crash, finally got it on side of the road, restarted it and the lights are still lit up and brakes still locked up, have to call a wrecker for a tow, and I have approximately only 50,000 miles.
