A few times when I have used cruise control my car suddenly accelerates and takes me slamming on my break for a few seconds to disengage to slow down, almost causing me to crash into someone. I have not taken my car to a shop to have it looked at. There were no warning lights or messages when it happened

this vehicle shows all recalls have been completed. however, every time it rains, the hatch compartment fills with water. 10/30/2022, my electronic parking brake light came on and the vehicle was stuck in park. Once we got the car home, I opened the hatch and removed the spare tire; there was standing water in the area from rain. This morning I was leaving for work an d the following lights came on; 1) Service 4WD 2) Service electronic Parking Brake 3) Service Airbags 4) Service Front Collision system 5) Service auto start stop 6) Adaptive Cruise Control not available 7) cruise/ fcw unab=vailable- service required This vehicle has been a complete nightmare. I did record the event as we used a shop vac to remove the water. the Service 4 wd light comes on and goes off randomly daily; the PTU was "flashed" but the problem continued. I have contacted the dealership only to be told all recalls are complete and I must pay for the additional repairs. I have contacted Jeep and have had zero resolutions.

Vehicle shows parking brake on when I enter. It has never done this before. Drove down street to stop and put car in park, parking park comes on automatically? This started today Sept. 7, 2021. On interstate going 70 mph vehicle bucked when I accelerated. On same trip, not in cruise control vehicle RPM's went up and down by itself. Proceeded to slow lane to stop. Once stopped I put car in park (no parking brake showed up) pushed on gas pedal to watch RPM's and transmission took its time coming back down. Left side of road hitting gas got to 45mph and vehicle bucked. Made load noise and bucked. The "bucking started on my 1st trip out of town, all loaded up for a work event. Going 65 mph down to exit ramp, accelerate and it bucked. Kids looked at me and said, "Mom this better not have a transmission problem like the old car." (GMC Envoy 4x4 bought new trans & then engine needed to be replaced, but went car shopping) Took vehicle back to CarMax and they said the didn't notice a thing.They said you know the wheels make a lot of noise because they are big. Also, told me not to accelerate so fast! What? I bought this vehicle on Mother's Day 2019. Went to Maryland to purchase it. Found out later that Maryland doesn't do inspections every year. Too it to my local CarMax and they gave it new brakes. I have an appointment with a Jeep certified dealer mechanics department on Sept. 24, 2021. I will follow up with another note. I hope the transmission gets replaced because the problems I mentioned are on a forum that Jeep experts monitor and comment on as I see their icon/symbol. Thank you

Jeep Trailhawk RPM's dial up and down while driving with no advanced speed. Vehicle does not move from a stop position without "kicking" or "bumping" you forward. While on interstate, going posted speed without cruise control but maintaining speed, vehicle "bucks." While driving in neighborhoods car has difficulty going from 25mph to 35mph. From stop sign to accelerate, vehicle does't move, or goes slowly with foot pressed down on gas pedal, then "bucks/bumps." Coming off from the interstate to an exit whilst vehicle is slowing down around exit curve then accelerate back up, vehicle "booms', loud "pop." The RPM's can not stay still on vehicle. When slowly moving traffic it does this too. If inching forward, it does't want to. At some points it accelerates forward when I did not want to go.

While driving on the freeway, with cruise control set at approximately 69 MPH, my 2015 Jeep Cherokee warning system luminates the Service Transmission and Check Engine lights. Traveling approximately another 2 miles to the nearest exit off the freeway, I slow the Jeep down as I exit the freeway ramp. The Jeep has very little, if any, power to make it through the traffic light crossing into the intersection. With little power other vehicles narrowly miss me from being run into because I am not able to move out of lane(s). This is the second time this has happened. Most recently I received my Jeep back from being serviced for this event 3 days ago and 62 miles. They dealership service department was not able to identify or replica the issue. This service transmission failure is a hazard and it could cause serious injury or property damage because there is no warning and the vehicle losses power not allowing the vehicle to be driven out of the way from traffic.

While driving on a freeway in november 2020 I had engaged the cruise control and set it at the speed limit of 70 MPH. A semi truck changed into my lane without blinker warning. I slammed on the brakes but the cruse control would not disengage. I then began pumping the brakes and still no disengagement. As I approached the back end of the semi prior to hitting it, I drove off the freeway down the descending embankment still pumping the brakes without disengaging the cruise control. As I began sliding down the embankment I brakes disengage the cruise control just before a collision with the divider.

The service shifter light comes on more and more frequently. It only comes on while I am driving. If I shut the jeep off and turn it back on it temporarily disappears. It doesn't matter if I'm going 10 miles or 70 miles, it randomly comes on. I have taken it to a jeep dealership and they can not do anything for me unless I drive it there with the light still on. I know numerous people have reported this problem. Why is there not a recall? Does it have something to do with the cruise control recall or the wiring harness that wears out for the gear shifter????

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 jeep cherokee. While driving approximately 45 MPH with the cruise control engaged, the contact had to depress the brake pedal several times in order to slow down and disengage the cruise control. The contact stated that the failure occurred at least ten times within a six month period. The vehicle was taken to bob baker jeep (5555 car country dr, carlsbad, ca 92008), but the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

The vehicle lunges forward when coming to a stop on a downhill situation. It becomes difficult not to hit stopped vehicles at the bottom of a hill at red lights. The cruise control does not always disengage when I hit the brakes, I have had to take evasive action several times. Contacted dealer, mad appointment for a scan.
