| Description of the problem | I recently leased a new 2015 jeep cherokee with safety package and fcw system. When i took vehicle home i realized that the forward collision warning system was not engaging ie: no audible and no visual alerts so i took it back to the dealer. The vehicle has been back to service several times for re-calibration but they cant get the system to work as designed or advertised. I am waiting for the service tech to get back to me with additional information as he was waiting for a response and overhead support rom jeep. According to the service tech alot of these vehicles are experiencing similar issues. This is a potentially dangerous issue and real safety concern. If folks are relying on this system they may be at risk. |
