2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

No previous issues with the vehicle until this incident. That morning on my way to work my check engine light came on. I called my husband and he said he would check it out that evening. Got to work fine. When I went to go home from work my car was acting strange. The ac or blower and the radio wouldn’t come on at all until after about 15 minutes of driving. About 5 minutes later my brakes wouldn’t work at all trying to stop at a light and I ended up crashing into a car that was completely stopped while going about 35mph. My front collision detection didn’t go off until I was about an inch away from the vehicle and the automatic emergency brake didn’t engage either and normally if a car is turning slowly 30 ft ahead it will slam on the brakes. Nothing worked and I am terrified to continue driving this vehicle.

When I go to pull out of a street The car just stop. I have my feet on the gas but it will not move, once I am in the street and also while in traffic it will not move even when foot on the gas I tried to explain to them at the car dealer where I took it. But I was charged 600 bucks for something else I guess this car is dangerous very dangerous I done almost had so many near missed accidents with this vehicle.

Vehicle shut off while driving, happen twice in the middle of the road. No warning signs. Took to auto shop to tell me its electrical issues, only dealership can fix it but I got charged $220 dollar. Seeing multiple complaint of same issue but there is no recall.

Didn't cause an incident yet but I don't know if it could. The start/stop thing keeps becoming unavailable.
