Abs module malfunctioned and caught on fire
Service brakes, Mar 31, 2026
Brakes repetitively seize, causing the wheels to overheat and the vehicle to shake while braking, putting the vehicle at risk of fire, reduced brake performance, and brake failure. Two different dealerships have confirmed from the problem at various points, the brakes are "repaired" and then have the same failure with the same components again. There are no warnings that the brakes are seizing other than the smell of burning brakes, or smoke coming from the wheel.
Power train, Service brakes, May 29, 2025
The gear selector assembly (shifter indicator) failed in accordance with current recall S28 for 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokees. The lights stopped illuminating suggesting corruption/inability to flash repair and the "Service Shifter" warning message appeared on the dash. The dealer indicated the vehicle is immediately unsafe for operation stating that the PRNDM indicator operates important features beyond just illumination of the PRNDM display such as driving signals, lights including reverse lights, backup camera, etc and that the vehicle is not currently recognizing all gears. Jeep dealer indicated this is a common failure and indicative of S28 recall but could not provide reasoning why vehicle was not included in the notice.
Service brakes, Jan 1, 2023
Vehicle is currently at a Jeep dealership for the 8th time with another Brake Concern. Brakes repetitively seize causing brakes to rapidly overheat, smoke emitting from the wheel, about to catch fire. Two Dealerships have failed to "duplicate the concern" until I get it there with the wheel about to catch on fire. Initially the drive side rear was the problem, 2 months after having the car returned to me, the passenger side rear began doing the same thing. I have contacted Jeep Customer Care and my concerns over the safety of the vehicle have been dismissed, they stated "this is not a known issue, if you have any other questions or concerns please contact us again". There have been no warning lights from the vehicle, it will be operating fine one trip, and the next trip you will stop after a short drive a cloud of smoke will be coming from the wheel, and the smell of burning brakes. As the brake continues to heat up while you are driving, the vehicle will begin to violently shake and vibrate.

LESS A COMPLAINT RIGHT NOW BUT HOW DO OUT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IN CASE OF A BRAKE FAILURE WITH A KEYLESS START? CURRENTLY THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IS WHEN TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. IF THERE IS A KILL SWITCH INSIDE THE CABIN I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S LOCATED.

Electrical system, Service brakes, Sep 9, 2016
I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER/JEEP IN REGARD TO THE BRAKE/TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK SOLENOID WHICH MAY HAVE AN INCORRECTLY CRIMPED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE TRANSITION GEAR BECOMING LOCKED IN PARK OR NEUTRAL POSITION AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I RECEIVED THE RECALL IN JUNE 2016. JEEP OF WHITE PLAINS, NY TOLD ME THAT SERVICE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH PARTS AND WOULD PLACE ME ON A WAITING LIST. IN AUGUST, I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NOW A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND MY CAR WOULD ONLY REQUIRE A DOWNLOAD. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON 8/31, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT DOESNT REQUIRE A DOWNLOAD (I WAS GIVE THE WRONG INFO), THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WILL HAVE TO BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST AGAIN. WAITING OVER 3 MONTHS FOR A RECALL IS FAR FROM TIMELY.

THE BACKUP SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. 1. WHEN IN THE REVERSE MODE THE BACK UP CAMERA SENSES WHEN AN OBJECT IS CLOSE AND INITIATES THE BRACKS. 2. I PUT IN REVERSE AND CHECKED AROUND INCLUDING THE SCREEN AND STARTED TO BACK UP AND THE BRAKES JOLTED AND STOPPED THE JEEP WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING IN SITE TO INDICATED ANY THING THERE. IT JOLTED ME AND I HAVE A SPINAL CONDITION AND IT HURT. I DID IT AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WAS A FLUK AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I PICKED MY WIFE UP AND WE WENT TO THE DEALER WHICH WE PAID CASH FOR IT ONLY 2 WEEKS EARLIER AND THE SALES TESTED AND IT DID THE SAME THING, WIFE WAS IN THE JEEP AND IT JOLTED HER AND SHE ALSO AS A SPINAL INJURY AND HAD JUST GOTTEN A SPINAL INJECTION. THEN THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP DISCONNECTED THE BACK UPS SYSTEM AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITHE SERVICE IN 2 WEEKS. I THINK THEY SHOULD TAKE IT BACK AS A LEMON AND REIMBURSE ME THE FULL AMOUNT. ? DAMAGE TO THE BREAKS AND QUESTIONABLE INJURY TO US.
