WHEN THE VEHICLE IS UNDER ACCELERATION THE BRAKES WILL LOCK-UP CAUSING AN ABRUPT STOP. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS NO ACCELERATION POWER AT THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED WITH NO INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. BASICALLY THE ABS IS ENGAGING BRAKES WITHOUT PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT IS LIKELY AND HIGHLY PROBABLY THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A FATAL OR NEAR FATAL REAR END COLLISION. IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN PULLING INTO A LANE OF TRAFFIC IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. ****** PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS***

2015 JEEP WRANGLER, IN MOTION, TRAVELING STRAIGHT, ON HIGHWAY (ROADS WERE WET FROM RECENT RAIN) & APPROACHING TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT MAJOR INTERSECTION. SIGNAL CHANGED FROM GREEN TO YELLOW. I PUSHED THE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND, THE JEEP DID NOT SLOW DOWN. THE JEEP CONTINUED TRAVELING STRAIGHT. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES, DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. THERE WAS A VERY LOUD "GRINDING" NOISE COMING FROM THE JEEP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED INTO THE INTERSECTION WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THIS VEHICLE DOWN, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK! THERE WAS NO CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE'S SPEED. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. CHECKED OUT THIS JEEP THE NEXT DAY & FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP & COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN. WHEN I LATER DROVE THE JEEP HOME, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. FCA, CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WAS NOTIFIED. CHRYSLER ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER & CASE MANAGER. THE CASE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT SHE CALLED THE SERVICE/DEALERSHIP (WHO SERVICED THE JEEP THE DAY AFTER THE EVENT) AND SHE WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MGR. "JEEP IS OPERATING PERFECTLY & IS UP TO MY SATISFACTION". I INFORMED CHRYSLER, VIA PHONE & EMAIL, THAT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE AT ALL! I SENT CHRYSLER A WRITTEN, DETAILED REPORT OF EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO STATED THAT THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY DIFFERENTLY, WITH INJURIES AND OR DEATH! I NEVER HEARD FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN. AS OF TODAY, CHRYSLER HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY PHONE MESSAGES.
