My vehicle dashboard gave me a "service park brake" message. The emergency brake would automatically engage if attempting to shift the car into park. The emergency brake could not be disengaged. The vehicle was towed to a Jeep dealership. The dealership has determined that the "park brake module connector" and surrounding wires have corroded due to water intrusion. They told me the car is considered unsafe as if it were to be driven the e-brake could engage at any moment. They also determined there is water leaking into that area of the car i.e. the rear left cargo area where the brake module sits. My online research has determined this is a common issue, and Jeep has not had a recall or notices about it. The water leaking could come from the sun/moon roof or the wheel well. Please visit this link and others like it to see that many people are having this issue with no long-term solution per the manufacturer. Some people have reported multiple failures of the park brake module on the same vehicle with the repair costing $1k+ each time.

1) PARKING BRAKE MODULE - Water Intrusion has caused the parking brake to malfunction, turning itself on and sometimes getting stuck in the on postion. I paid $700 to have it replaced and it went bad again with the same error code...Water Intrusion. Dealer wants to charge me to fix it again eventhough there is a Service Bulletin #08-060-16 out for this issue. 2) Power Liftgate Module - Still waiting on a fix for this from FCA. Last update was 5/23. Now my liftgate is malfunctioning. When I press any of the four ways to open the liftgate it will only go up halfway. I have to push it up the rest of the way. Then when I press it to close it will not close on its own. I have to manually close it. I called 2 dearlerships and they have no solution. One said they couldn't even look at it for 2 weeks. The other said 3 months! This is totally unacceptable!

FCA recall #49A (the federal safety agency recall 23V338000) was issued 9 months ago that warned that my 2014 Jeep Cherokee may spontaneously burst into flames at any time posing a threat to passengers or any structure containing the car, i.e., my garage/house! I repeat: 9 months ago! I have contacted several Jeep dealers and the Jeep recall hotline and no one, I repeat, no one had any information about any fix pending. Could you please do something about this? Can you imagine worrying about a car bursting into flames for 9 months? Please help!

There is water filling up in my spare tire area and it’s damaged the epb module which has caused the brakes to lock up a few times. Also it is affecting my cruise control, lane assist, forward collision. And my 4wd module is getting wet and has set it off a few times

Recall 49A was first publicized on May 11, 2023. FCA notified me about the recall in June, but no repair parts were available. I have received several other notifications from FCA since June (latest today), but every time I call the dealer to schedule the needed repair, I get the same response: no parts are available. Today I called FCA directly at 1 800 853 1403. Same response: no parts available and no estimate of when parts or repairs would be made. I am unable to trade in the vehicle due to the open recall, as no dealer will accept it. During the past seven months the powerlift tailgate has malfunctioned several times, but I have learned how to remove a fuse in the engine compartment to "re-set" it. I am increasingly concerned about a possible fire. FCA advises customers to part outside their garages to wait for the recall repair. This recall is NOT being handled in an effective and prompt manner. I ask that the federal safety agency investigate FCA's handling of this recall, and require FCA to provide customers with more specific information about the schedule for repairs.
When is FCA going to figure out a solution to Recall 49A? Recalls R27 and R67 have been done on my Cherokee. This is my solution for FCA: "Possible FCA temporary solution to the PLGM catching on fire: Instead of having the PLGM connect to an always hot fuse, relocate the wire in the PDC to an only ON when the engine is running fuse. Of course this means you can only open the liftgate when the engine is running, but at least you could park in your garage. You could put the ignition switch in the RUN position and not start the engine if desired to open the liftgate. This should be an acceptable inconvenience until a 'proper repair' can be implemented."
