2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Brakes Problems

“This car slams the breaks to a stop in the middle of an intersection while turning left with other cars across the intersection also turning left. It thinks we will hit but we are not going to. This has happened twice. Luckily, the driver behind us was paying attention both times and also slammed their brakes, avoiding a collision.”

I had my childr j in the car and we were stranded in the middle of a crowded highly trafficked road and its nowhere to go and no way of moving out of the way.”

“While driving 45mph along a straight, open highway my vehicle suddenly shifted itself to park and stopped itself abruptly.

Eventually after 15 minutes of trying to shift and turn off the car it did shut off.”

The ABS system warning light came on, as well as messages that the automatic collision control, lane departure control and adaptive cruise control were disabled. …”

“2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve was parked before a snow / ice storm and when we went to drive it 5 days later, after the storm, it would not move and made a loud explosion noise when I pressed the accelerator. I immediately turned the Jeep off and went to look underneath to see if I could see what happened. The rear brake pads and calipers were blown off, along with a bunch of broken parts and the air ride suspension was at its fully extended height. It's been to 2 Jeep dealers who can not explain what happened and Jeep says there is nothing they can do. …”
