MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT IS FLASHING ON MY DASH BOARD, AND IT IS MAKING A CHIMING NOISE WHEN FLASHING AS I DRIVE MY JEEP. THE MAIN ISSUE OTHER THAN HAVING IT GOING ON AND OFF SOME TIME A FEW TIME A DAY SOMETIMES NOT FOR A WEEK THAN A FEW DAYS IN A ROW IS THAT WHEN I AM ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON DOING 70 MPH THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF EVERY TIME IT FLASHES. I FELL THE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR CRUISE CONTROLS SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE DEALER HAS NOT CORRECTED THIS ISSUE. I JUST GOT A RECALL NOTICE TO DAY S27/NHTSA 16V-240 TO MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND FOOT BRAKE ON. MY FOOT BRAKES SAYS IT IS ON AT 70 MPH WHEN IT IS NOT ON. THIS HAPPENED A LOT TODAY ON MY TRIP, BUT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR

ON AUGUST 19, 2014, I STEPPED OUT OF MY STATIONARY 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND--BELIEVING I HAD PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK ON A GENTLE CITY-STREET SLOPE--WHEN IT SUDDENLY MOVED BACKWARD, ROLLING OVER MY LEFT LEG AND SEVERELY DAMAGING MY KNEE, SKIN, ARTERY, AND QUAD MUSCLES. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY CALLED AN AMBULANCE, WHICH TRANSPORTED ME TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL, WHERE DOCTORS SURGICALLY ATTACHED AN "EXTERNAL FIXATOR" IN THREE PLACES, STABILIZING AND COMPLETELY IMMOBILIZING MY LEG (FOR THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS). AFTER A SECOND SURGERY AND OVER A YEAR OF PAINFUL AND ARDUOUS THERAPY LATER, I CAN NOW WALK WITH A KNEE-BRACE, HALTINGLY AND WITH A NOTICEABLE LIMP . . . ALL DUE TO THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT ACCURATELY INDICATE WHAT GEAR IT IS IN! UNLESS ONE IS CONCENTRATING 100+% OF THE TIME ON THE CONSOLE SHIFTER--AND CONSTANTLY GLANCING AT THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD--THE DRIVER NEVER KNOWS WHAT POSITION THE JEEP'S TRANSMISSION IS IN! THE SHIFTER ON THE CONSOLE ALWAYS LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME, NO MATTER WHAT GEAR HAS SUPPOSEDLY BEEN SELECTED. WE HAD NO ABSOLUTELY FOREWARNING OF THE POTENTIAL LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM INHERENT IN THIS VEHICLE'S DESIGN, AND I CAN ONLY THANK GOD THAT I'M STILL ALIVE TODAY. LAST WEEK WE WERE SURPRISED TO RECEIVE WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES THAT THE COMPANY AND NHTSA HAD RECALLED 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR THE SPECIFIC DEFECT DESCRIBED IN MY INCIDENT ABOVE!. (FINALLY! VINDICATION!) THE RECALL NUMBER IS SHOW BELOW, I BELIEVE. FCA VEHICLE RECALL NUMBER: S27 / NHTSA 16V-240

DRIVING APPROX. 20 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC, CAR IN FRONT STOPPED SUDDENLY. I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES AND THE AUTO-BRAKING SYSTEM ALSO FLASHED ON DASHBOARD TO "BRAKE!" BUT WHEN I TRIED TO, THE BRAKES WERE NOT AS RESPONSIVE AS USUAL. I APPLIED TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL (SO MUCH SO THAT MY FOOT STILL HURTS OVER A WEEK LATER) AND THE BRAKES DID NOT REACT AS THEY TYPICALLY DO, SO I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

TAKATA, ON APRIL 15, 2016 I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A 2004 FORD PICK UP TRUCK ON STATE HIGHWAY 28 IN SENECA SC THE JEEP WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED AND I SUFFERED MULTIPLE SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED IT WOULD NOT HAVE CONCLUDED IN BROKEN RIBS, BROKEN HAND, MULTIPLE CUTS AND BRUISES AND THE LOSS OF 90 % OF MY SITE. EVEN THE STATE TROOPER SAID HE HAD NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A TRAVESTY.
