2015 Jeep Cherokee Brakes

ON STARTING BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR CAME ONE DASH. BRAKE INDICATION LIGHT CAME ON. PARKING BRAKE HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED. SHIFTED TO REVERSE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. SHIFTED TO DRIVE. VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD. DROVE TO GET GAS. PARKING BRAKE AGAIN ENGAGED BY ITS SELF. SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE TO DRIVE AND PRESSING GAS AND BRAKE RELEASED WITH A JUMP OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE PARKED UNTIL ABLE TO GET TO SERVICE CENTER.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON BRAKE BOOSTERS FOR THE YEARS BEFORE MY JEEP. MY BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED IN VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT.

THE BRAKES LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND THE BRAKES LOCK AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. YOU'RE STUCK. IT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT STARTED INITIALLY APRIL 2018 AND THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR WEEKS- BUT WAS EVASIVE ON WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS. WHATEVER WAS DONE -DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IVE FOUND MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE DISCUSSING THE SAME ISSUES. EXAMPLE: HTTPS://WWW.JEEPCHEROKEECLUB.COM/THREADS/2015-CHEROKEE-BRAKE-SYSTEM-LOCK-UP.105530 THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSING SENSOR ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A COINCIDENCE

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK. WAS PARKED WHEN SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T ALLOW VEHICLE TO DRIVE. COULD NOT DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN 2 DAYS. SET UP SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WATER WAS GETTING INTO THE PARKING BRAKE MODULAR AND CORRODING IT IN THE WIRING HARNESS THE PARKING BRAKE MODULAR AND CORRODING IT AND THE WIRING HARNESS.

MY VEHICLE'S EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN THE ON POSITION, PREVENTING ME FROM DRIVING MY CAR FROM TIME TO TIME, KILLING MY BATTERY POWER MULTIPLE TIMES-I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. I HAD THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN WHITE BEAR MN CHARGE ME $185 FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THE TELL ME I HAVE TO FULLY REPLACE THE BRAKES CONTROL BOX WITH A COST OF MORE THAN $800 AND MENTIONED THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS DUE TO THE TIME FRAME, BUT MY CONCERN HAS BEEN EXPRESSED SINCE I'VE OWN THE CAR IN 2015 AND ONLY HAVE 65,000 CURRENTLY ON THE CAR THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AND YET AFFORD TO FIX SINCE I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL, THE "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASH. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON, SO I DIDNT THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE. TWO DAYS LATER I GOT INTO MY CAR AND TURNED ON THE ENGINE AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE. I HAD TO SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY COMES OFF IF YOU PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO D OR R. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE LEVER TO REMOVE THE PARKING BREAK WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE BUTTON, IT SAID SERVICE PARKING BRAKE. I ALSO READ ONLINE THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE PARKING BRAKE MODULE IN THE REAR, AS WELL AS THE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT WAS CORRODED. HOW WOULD SOMETHING THAT IS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, HIDDEN BEHIND THE SIDE PANELS GET CORRODED AND HAVE THE OWNER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PLACED IN A LOCATION WHERE IT CANNOT GET WET OR CORRODED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND WOULD NOT DEPRESS WHEN THE PUSH START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LAMBERT CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP/RAM, 5 RIVER ROAD, CLAREMONT, NH 03743) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,627.

TRUCK VIBRATE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ROTORS AND PADS STILL GOOD ONLY 22000 MILES

BRAKES MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND NOBODY CAN DUPLICATE IT.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH JUST AFTER LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND A DEER JUMPED IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WHEN I MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDDLE TO THE BRAKE PEDDLE IN A HURRY DURING ENGINE WARM UP THE POWER BRAKES DO NOT WORK. I CAN NOT STOP THE CAR. I CAN NOT ENGAGE THE ABS OR SLIDE THE TIRES. I PUSH THE BRAKE PEDDLE AS HARD AS I CAN AND THERE IS NO POWER BRAKES. I HAD THE DEALER SERVICE LOOK AT IT 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THEY EVEN TRIED SOME OTHER NEW CARS THAT ARE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. AND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPAIRABLE BECAUSE ALL THE JEEP CHEROKEES ARE THE SAME WAY, ONLY SOME HAVE THE PROBLEM WORSE. THIS PROBLEM IS ONLY APPARENT DURING ENGINE WARM UP. IT SEEMS TO BE A LACK OF VACUUM TO THE POWER BRAKE MODULE WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE, IN A SPLIT SECOND, DURING AN EMERGENCY STOP. MY CAR IS STILL NOT CORRECT AND DEALER SAYS THAT ALL JEEP CHEROKEES ARE NOT CORRECT. PLEASE HELP US JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS BEFORE WE KILL SOMEONE. THANK YOU,

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT IN DECEMBER, 2015 REGARDING THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM APPLYING THE BRAKES FOR NO REASON. IN JANUARY, 2016, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKING SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE CAR HAS BRAKED AUTOMATICALLY ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE THEY WERE REPLACED. THIRD TIME APRIL 1ST, 2016 WHILE BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, NO VEHICLES OR OBJECTS AROUND. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP, DEALERSHIP STATED NO PROBLEM FOUND AND THAT WAS NORMAL BRAKING (THIS IS NOT NORMAL BRAKING). FOURTH TIME ON AUGUST 29TH, 2016, AGAIN, WHILE BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY WITH NO VEHICLE OR OBJECTS AROUND. TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 8/30/16, THIS IS THE 4TH VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW, JULY 2015. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35 MPH TO 45 MPH, VEHICLES AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY IN TRAFFIC. FIRST INSTANCE WAS DRIVING ON COUNTRY ROAD, SECOND INSTANCE ON MAJOR INTERSTATE, THIRD INSTANCE DRIVING ON CITY ROAD. IN ADDITION, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED FOR NO REASON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN BACKING MODE. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING INTO PARKING SPACES AND INTO MY GARAGE. IN ALL INSTANCES, THE BRAKING WARNING SYSTEM ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY. HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THESE TWO PROBLEMS, MOST RECENT VISIT, DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULD NOT HAVE WHILE IN BACKING MODE. NO RESOLUTION FROM DEALERSHIP AT THIS POINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL FOUR BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE EXCESSIVELY OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 480.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AS I APPROACHED THE EXIT I TRIED TO TAP THE BREAK, NOTHING HAPPENED AND THEY WERE LOCKED... THE PEDDLE HAD NO GIVE AT ALL AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO BREAKING ABILITY. SHIFTED THE AUTOMATIC GEAR BOX INTO MANUAL AND DOWN SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR TO COME TO SLOW SPEED/STOP.....RAN A FEW RED LIGHT DUE TO THIS AND LUCKILY THE ROADS WERE EMPTY.

BACKED OUT OF BUSINESS DRIVEWAY ONTO BUSY STREET AND PLACED VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, AS I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE APPLIED ITSELF AND VEHICLE STAYED IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL BRAKE RELEASED ITSELF. NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED BY APPROACHING TRAFFIC FROM REAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ALL DAY LONG THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF AFTER PICKING UP MY CHILDREN SHE WAS GOING BY THE DEALERSHIP AND DECIDED TO TURN IN BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE ACTING FUNNY AND HAS SHE GOT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SHE HAD A TOTAL BREAKDOWN YOU'RE THE GUY LOOKING AT THE CAR WAS IN AMAZEMENT THAT SHE MADE IT THERE SAFELY HE HAD NO IDEA HOW SHE MADE IT THERE SAFELY. *TR
