| Description of the problem | Similar to nhtsa ids#: 10533622 and 10533524. Occurrence: 5 times to date frequency: randomly speed: less than or equal to 50 mph each time adaptive cruise control: always off, never on vehicle mileage: ~ 3,200 the car randomly applies the brakes even though there are no objects in the road (front, rear or sides) and no pending accident. Out of the five times, two of those times so hard that the anti-lock brakes activated. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident. To date no accidents, because no cars have been around when this happens. I have a family and am afraid to continue to drive or let them drive this vehicle. It has been to the dealer once for this issue and will now go in a second time because the issue was not resolved. The ntsb should really look into this issue with chrysler and either issue a recall or at a minimum issue a tsb. |
