Vehicle alerts to -??service parking brake-?? and engages parking parking brake without warning. Shifter has gotten stuck in N, unable to shift out for some time. Shifting in secondary incident resulted in a clunking when shifted to Drive as well as vehicle deceleration after driving for one minute. Safety is affected for all as the vehicle coasts to a stop in traffic. Towing to repair shop required twice, where no issue was found by service technicians either time.

The Electronic Parking Brake has malfunctioned because water has leaked into the liftgate. Jeep is replacing the power liftgate module because if water leaks into the car, this could cause a fire if the water reaches the module. Water is in my car and has destroyed the e-brake system causing it to go on and off unexpectedly and now I can't drive the car. According to an ODI Resume, "On May 11, 2016, the manufacturer released a Technical Service Bulleting (ODI #10191415, FCA #08-060-16) that instructs dealers on replacing the EPB module and inspecting the electrical connector for corrosion if a customer describes having the EPB not releasing." Jeep is willing to replace the Power Liftgate Module - Recall 49A - but not the EPB for the exact same reason. The dealer agrees with my assessment, but without Chrysler willing to cover the cost, they are not able to replace the EPB system for free and want to charge me $1000. Several lights are going off on the dashboard - Service Park Brake, the Brake light and now the Stop/Start function is disabled.

The electronic parking brake (EPB) is an issue. Water has seeped into the module which has rendered it inoperable; it needs to be replaced.

Parking brake engaged and had to be manually overridden to disengage. Upon further research on the internet and taking apart the rear I found a water leak from the power liftgate and the electronic power brake module to be corroded.

Last July of 2022, my first issue was an electrical notice that caused the airbag and seatbelt sensor in the vehicle to continuously go off, which took several months to get fixed through the manufacturer of my Jeep Cherokee 2015. As of 2023, I have received two recall notices, and neither of which have been resolved since April of 2023. Since those notices, my check engine light has gone off and is getting repaired this week, there's been a leak inside the vehicle of a liquid spilling into the passenger side floor mat, and also the brakes have deteriorated quickly -- they were last repaired at 77,000 miles and are again experiencing issues at 99,000 miles. There is a specific manufacturer in my area (Salt Lake Valley Chrystler Dodge Jeep RAM on State Street in Salt Lake City, UT) that has been borderline negligent and straight up rude on multiple occasions.

My 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited has a parking brake issue. My parking brake will not disengage, the car will not move forward or back, the warning lights are lit up on the dashboard. My Jeep is inoperable due to this issue. This has happened before in parking lots, etc but I was always able to pull over and disengage. That is NOT the case this time as had the car towed to the Jeep Dealership and diagnosed as the parking Brake Module is faulty, the part is back oprdered for months and will cost over $1700 to repair.

My 2015 Jeep haslocked up on me twice now. The power brake system comes on automatic and I cannot accelerate. The first time it happened it about threw me into the windshield. This second time it jerked me forward. It has been in the dealership once to fix the problem. Now it has done it again. The warning lights come on the dash as power brake system malfunction, check engine soon, do not engage and put vehicle in park and several other warnings.

My alternator went out and was replaced and while in doing they said my gear shifter broke and when they tried to replace it that the new one broke too. My parking brake and check engine light are now on and they are not sure why.

Parking brake locked and would not release. Issue occurred while driving - luckily at low speed (apx 5mph) while in parking lot. Could not move vehicle since parking brake would not release. Impeded traffic in aisle. I am concerned that this could have happened while driving on surface streets or highway. If so, this would have created a very dangerous situation since the vehicle immediately came to an uncontrolled stop and was immobilized. Could not locate any sort of manual override for releasing brake. Had to have vehicle towed. There were no previous issues with parking brake. Cycled power/start several time to try and reset. No changes. Disconnected battery for 5 minutes to try and reset. No changes. Warning lights/messages included: service parking brake, 4wd system unavailable, start/stop unavailable, brake warning light, abs light, and possibly others. The vehicle is currently at dealership waiting repair (estimated to begin service week of 5/22/23, Nyle Maxwell CDJR, Taylor, TX)

Parking Brake Module has completely locked up and the vehicle is undrivable

- Piedmont, SC, USA

Water fills up in the spare tire component which corroded the emergency brake box. I took it to the local Sunoco to fix they contacted Chrysler and was told to give the car back to me as is I should have it fixed by the dealership. My car is currently at a dealership and they-??re telling me I have to pay $1600 for the repair. But if you Google this is a common problem with this vehicle.

The emergency brake engages on its own. In the past i have been able to release it after it "auto engages", sometimes taking more than 1 attempt. I stopped at a gas station last week. When I started my car to leave, the emergency brake auto engaged itself and would not release. Error message on screen read "service park brake". I called the local service department of chrystler/dodge/jeep dealership. Followed their directions to release the brake. However it would not release still. The incident left me and 2 children stranded for 2 hours. I had my vehicled towed to the dealership. Currently still awaiting resolution.

My brakes have totally locked up on my vehicle. The vehicle is undrivable at this point. I just have it sitting in the garage for now.

In June 2022, my electronic parking brake engaged and would not unlock. On the dash, the Parking Brake light, the Brake light and the Stop/Start light were all illuminated. I was unable to drive the vehicle. I had to have AAA tow it to the dealer to find out what was wrong with it. The dealer I took it to had to install a new Parking brake module and rewire 32 pins on the new connector. They informed me that there was corrosion on the unit and did not find any water in the compartment area. My vehicle is a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and at the time of the repair it only had 40,649 miles on it. I had to pay right at $1,200 for this repair and I feel I should be reimbursed from the manufacturer since the vehicle was only 7 years old and has low miles. This will happen again if they don't come up with a fix for it.

Went for service and they stated my EPB is not engaging properly, they could tell water was in the spare tire well at some point....I bought this car in 2019 & was never told of this possible problem This incident obviously happened before the date of this complaint, but I was not aware until service technician told me on 2/21/2023 "Power going to Park Brake Module---No power out" Thank you for your time

Electric Parking Brake on my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited V6 has malfunction. Water has leaked into the car, creating standing water that affected the EPB module and is now inoperable. I cannot release the parking brake and the car cannot be driven. This happened while I drove to my mail box. I was luckily close to home but this is a serious safety risk. The brake cannot be released to even have it towed, even after several attempts of different methods to release. I cannot get the part to fix the problem as it is on back order with no ETA.
