2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Brakes Problems

“On 3 recent occasions my breaks have lost all pressure while reversing either into a parking spot or backing out of one, so fortunately I was not traveling very fast. I had to force the pedal all the way down to be able to stop and it made a very loud grinding noise. Only in 1/3 times the pavement was wet from recent rain.”

“When I purchased the vehicle, I was told it was flat towable behind a motorhome. After purchase I then had to spend $500 to have a wiring harness installed to prevent death wobble of front steering/wheels. The second time I towed the vehicle, the back brakes locked up destroying tires, rims, and other unknown items at thisw time.”

“Vehicle was turned on and stationary at my private residence, placed in park (no parking break) for me to hook up a chain to tow a compact tractor (within the towing specification of the vehicle). When I was behind the vehicle I heard a loud thunk and the vehicle completely rolled back (wheels were rotating) and smashed into the compact tractor causing significant damage to the trunk and side of the vehicle.”

“All warning sensors went off on the dash, my brakes locked, luckily at low speeds either while parked or pulling into a parking spot. It had to be towed 3 times, one time we had a little smoke coming from under the hood which turned out being the corroded harness. My brake lights were all stuck on. Jeep says it was the wheel speed sensor, 2 out of 4 have been replaced. I've also had to have my wiring harness replaced twice (within 6 months) due to corrosion. All of this happened at the same time.”

“I was stooped at a red light on a hill when the light turned green all lights in car turned on the brakes went out and the steering wheel locked. I was on a hill and almost crashed into a wall. I had no control over the car. Don't know how this happened. I was able to mange and pull to the side of the curve. I turned the car on and off a few times and the car went back to normal. I was very lucky I didn't crash into the wall or another car. This was at a busy intersection and I could have kiiled myself or and someone else. I have not driven the car since only my husband because im very scared. …”
