| Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2014 jeep grand cherokee srt last year and have had many issues, this has to do with the automatic braking system. I was in the far left turn lane of a two lane left turn stoplight. Stoplight turns green for left turn lanes to proceed to highway entrance ramp, as i am turning left my car automatically slams into a full brake and stops in middle of turn lane. The car was out of my control as the brake peddle was fully pressed to the floor without me touching the brake. My vehicle does have the automatic brake system, which was activated this day. The car behind me slammed on their brakes since my vehicle came to a complete stop in the middle of making a left turn. We did not get rear ended thankfully. There was a car to the right of my vehicle also making a left turn, at no point did this vehicle come near my vehicle nor crossed lanes. My vehicle came to a complete stop for no reason and when i went to press on the gas pedal, it continued to stay in a full brake, it took about a minute to get my vehicle to start accelerating again. After this incident i turned off the automatic brake system. To be driving a vehicle and then out of nowhere the car takes control of itself is very scary and not safe. |
