While driving my 2019 jeep cherokee I was on a major highway in colorado. The roads were not icy or covered in snow. Traffic came to an abrupt stop in front of me. I put on the brakes, pushing down all the way as fast as I could. There was close to 2 car lengths between me and the car in front of me, but my vehicle was taking forever to stop. It ultimately did not stop in time and I hit the vehicle in front of me. Both the vehicles were damaged and I broke my hand. The entire time I was braking it felt like the car should have stopped a lot quicker but it just was not stopping. I saw there has been issues with the brakes on the 2019 jeep cherokees.
2019 Jeep Cherokee brakes complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 111 of 111, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car completely shut down while driving at night on a snowy mountain road. All lights and everything completely shut off. I was able to stop in the opposing lane of traffic and restart the vehicle before being struck. The vehicle electrical system continued to flash into warning and limp mode several times but we were 100's of miles from a dealership. We continued with the problem until we were able to limp home and back to the dealership. The vehicle also revved up to 4000 RPM while my foot was on the brake and not touching the accelerator. The low tire lights kept rotating to different tires as I drove with none being low. The dealership said it was a vacuum line and they drove it for 10 miles without result. This vehicle almost killed us on several occasions.
1. On 3 occasions (most recently 12-2-18) during braking the emergency brake engages itself and the engine continuously engages the starter. Unable to put vehicle in park turn off the starter and after about 30-60 seconds able to put into park and restart the vehicle. On 12-2-18 I was slowing for a stop light and the vehicle wouldn't allow me to put the hazard lights on when I couldn't get the starter to disengage and put into park to restart the vehicle. It occurs without warning and the emergency brake must be pulled up. 2. The brakes often sound like they are rubbing (needing brake pads). 3. The radio will randomly change from fm to sirius and unable to turn off/on or return to the radio menu. 4. The radio volume most of time must be at 15 or higher to listen to the radio and will randomly jump to full volume while driving. 5. The android auto that I use for navigation and telephone will randomly scroll through the telephone contacts and begin calling. I have to unplug the phone to stop this.
At highway speeds with cruise control set, the cars transmission and engine RPM would increase to as much as 5500 RPM during deceleration. Speed would fluctuate as much as 12 MPH (increase or decrease from set cruise speed). Dealership has had vehicle in their possession for two months and still has two open recalls that have been unresolved. Dealership has failed to fix or replace vehicle.
When turning around the vehicle makes a weird noise and the brakes are not stable while trying to brake it doesn't respond immediately pulling forward the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 jeep cherokee. While the vehicle was stopped with the brake pedal depressed, the brakes failed. As a result, the contact's vehicle drove forward and crashed into the side of a second vehicle. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer and local dealer (antioch chrysler, dodge, jeep, ram, 105 il route 173, antioch, il) were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000.
Fca recall. Received a notice of brake recall that could cause brakes to fail and crash, without any advanced warning. Called jeep dealer who told me they are unwilling at this time to perform the repair, because they are giving preference to their in stock, unsold units. Dealer (fred martin superstore) refused to offer an appointment to me for this recall and said to call back in october. I contacted the manufacturer (jeep/fca) and they called the dealer and confirmed the same. I called another jeep dealer and was able to schedule this recall service, but the soonest they could get me in was september 10th, 2018. This all took five hours of my time and I am forced to continue to drive without this recall being performed, and a safety risk, for at least 20 more days.
Brand new car with 12 miles on it, check engine light on, will not go over 27 MPH on hwy. When try to fill with gas it flushes back out the tank. Already serviced for internal brake switch failure. After picked up, ran fine for 48 hours then ABS warning light came on , a w/exclamation point light came on and message saying..."service stability control" now jeep is back in shop. Do not feel safe in it at all.
Vehicle locked up after stepping on brake at stop light. Dash lights started blinking off and on.
