Coming out of a tunnel, wet surface, slight turn, and the automatic braking system known as traction control locked brakes and steering up on it's own causing car to hydro plane into a curb and a wall. I had no control but if i did i could have controlled the car and prevent the crash.

My vehicle has active collision protection. The system is awesome however it seems like when you apply the brake the vehicle assumes your depth perception and senses will avoid a collision. I think the vehicle computer and sensors should still make the ultimate decision to stop the vehicle. Also, should there not be a sensor for temperature in this system to take into account the possibility for ice and snow? Thank…

Forward collision warning system with brake mitigation continues to engage intermittently on its own. This is not to be taken lightly.

No cars or objects in front of me, and all of a sudden the system slams on the brakes, jerks very abruptly, audible bells go off…

My 2015 jeep grand cherokee is equipped with sensors that can activate the braking if the car detects a collision. It seems as though these sensors are too sensitive and cause the car to slam on the brakes when there is no need for it. I have experienced my car slamming automatically slamming on my brakes in the middle of the road seemingly because i was making a lane change and the vehicle in front of me was not…

The automatic emergency braking system activates on the highway for reason. I have been to the dealer repeatedly during the warranty period and they can't fix the problem. It activates at times with nobody in front of me and sometimes with a clear lane ahead of me and a truck next to me. This has happened numerous times since i bought the vehicle three years ago.
