Twice now after reversing my car a little distance, the car would only forcefully move forward after putting it in drive, and it would stop immediately after taking my foot off of the gas without touching the brake. I tried to push the brake down to put the car in park, but the brake pedal was stuck up. I have had the car towed twice to a garage, but they can't seem to find the problem and the vehicle will move again after sitting for hours.
I was driving on the interstate I started to approach a mac truck, I started to apply my breaks and I noticed I didnt slow down, so I kept trying, the check engine, ABS, esp, and two other lights came on. I rear ended the trucked and my jeep started spinning and I wrecked into the medium
As I am accelerating from a stop my entire vehicle will completely lock up out of nowhere and will no longer move. I can still shift all the gears, however my jeep will not budge in drive or reverse when pressing on the gas pedal. This has left me stranded in the middle of both lanes of traffic on multiple occasions. This is a huge safety concern, as I have had other vehicles almost crash into me. The only way I can describe it, is like having the emergency brake come on while your driving. The vehicle locks up and the tires skid until you come to a complete stop. It's very scary!
Tl* the contact owned a 2010 jeep liberty. While the vehicle was parked with the engine running, the contact exited the vehicle to run an errand. When the contact returned, he noticed that the vehicle rolled away. On a separate occasion, while driving approximately 15-25 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to stop the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The contact was able to drive the vehicle back home and noticed air coming from the vicinity of the brake pedal. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a collision center. The contact also stated that the brake pedal seized in place. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 10v315000 (service brakes, hydraulic) or 10v009000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Brake fluid leaking from car
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep liberty. When the vehicle was started, the instrument panel lights (avs, esp, vas, service four wheel drive) remained illuminated. All of the wheel sensors were replaced, the system was cleaned, and the brake pads were replaced; however, the failure continued. The dealer was notified, but the vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 28,200.
Both times I was slowing down for a red light and almost rear ended another car. I felt the brakes failed and the car seemed to accelerate and or the gas pedal stuck. I called jeep and they said there was no recall/issues and I saw where my year/model was reported to have a recall for a brake issue.
On 4 separate occasions while driving my vehicle the ABS system on the jeep turns on and my car comes to a stop. I am unable to move the car and I have had it towed to the jeep dealership to be looked at. My car has been in their shop 4 times for service. Each time I am told the problem has been fixed and each time it occurs again. This issue is an extremely dangerous situation as my car literally is unable to move and comes to a complete halt. It has occurred while driving on the highway , at an intersection, and driving up hill. The dealership is unsympathetic and I am unaware as how to proceed. Thank you.
Brakes were making a noise that subsided when brakes applied. Mechanic informed me that rear pads are worn to indicators and pads are frozen in slides. Rotors are at minimum spec. Now my front brakes have never been replaced, they are original factory installed. I have never heard of the rear brakes wearing out before the front brakes. This happened in april it is now the end of july and I still have not needed to replace the front brakes. There is definitely something wrong with the rear brakes to wear out that fast.
