| Description of the problem | Decelerating on i-75 off ramp to city street, turned off cruse control, jeep stuttered to a stop when lightly pressing brake pedal. Accelerating cautiously, struggled to accelerate, rmp needle revving high, sluggish acceleration, jolted/stuttered to accelerate to 35-mph then accelerated normal. 4 miles down city street went to decelerate slowly for stop light, "service electronic brake system." message came on screen, brake pedal became extremely stiff. Brake pedal would not press down as normal. Had to struggle just to get jeep to stop at busy intersection almost rear ended vehicle in-front of me... Placed jeep in park, turned off & restarted jeep, as past electrical issues in 2017 have happened with deceleration/acceleration (in 2017 turning off/on jeep helped(past in 2017 bad battery cell dealership missed had to take somewhere else for correct diagnose/replaced battery)). Light turned green tried to accelerate through intersection to park in parking lot, jeep barely accelerated to 10-15 mph "service electronic brake system" message came back on after 10 mph was reached. Had to jam down foot to barely move brake pedal 2 cm to come to a stop in the parking lot (almost hit building). Went to put driver side window down before turning off jeep & driver side window wouldn't go down. Now safety issue might not be covered under warranty /dealership 70,774 mileage. These safety issues should always be covered for full life of warranty not just to 60,000 miles!!!!! |
