Your website has some trouble & won't accept my jpg files. First time to see this. I use cruise control all the time on 3 vehicles I own. But, this JEEP has a strange problem that is not safe. Almost all vehicles I have driven with cruise controls will exceed set speed by 1~3mph while going down a steep hill. But my JEEP will exceed by 5~7mph on steep hills. I have turned off cruise control when it didn't control speed and drove manually for a while, then used cruise control again. If I set at 70mph, often speed will increase to 75~77mph going downhill; then brakes will engage strongly (hard braking) and JEEP will quickly go below 70 mph. JEEP will brake hard, go to or below 70mph then speed up some then brake hard again! Two-three times I had 18 wheelers behind me going down steep hill when I was using cruise control, JEEP quickly reached 75~77mph, then suddenly brakes clamped down with a lot of force and big trucks had to hit their brakes hard and were not far from my rear bumper. I do watch in rear view mirror often when driving. There are a lot of hills in my area of East Texas. I also watch out for smaller vehicles also when I use cruise control, especially going downhill. I took JEEP to a dealer Jan. 24, 2024 in Palestine, TX 75801 to check excessive carbon SOOT in tailpipes, coming out of muffler. And, I told service Mgr. about bad cruise control braking. They did nothing. Now, see Elliott JEEP dealer Service Invoice [XXX]. Dealer wasn't interested in looking a cruise control problem. He checked only excessive soot problem and maybe did a multipoint inspection. Also, this JEEP couldn't possible pass an EPA emissions control. I THINK THERE ARE SOME REAL DEFECTS IN MAIN CONTROL MODULE!!!! DEFECTIVE SPEED OR CRUISE CONTROL. DEFECTIVE AIR/FUEL SENSOR CONTROL MAKING A LOT OF SOOT. DISPLAY DEFECTIVE FOR GASOLINE & TEMPERATURE GUAGES IN DISPLAY. In 2023, I told different dealer about cruise control trouble and he didn't check anything, either.

Vehicle is making emergency brakes at anytime on highway even without a vehicle in front to set off the sensor - causing vehicle to slide and go off road - the screen is over heating and snells like it-??s burning

New car after 1000 miles when I put it in reverse to back up the car, once I press down the brake pedal it making loud dada tapping noise, I brought it back to dealership 3 times and never been fixed, 2nd time they change the front rotors and noise is gone for 5 days, then tapping noise back again, some times when on D driving mode when slow down on traffic light speed down to 5-10mph, some time can hear that noise too. I also try to bring to different dealership to get this fix but when reception hear is tapping noise in reverse then told me schedule only available after 2 month and ask me should bring it to where I bought it from, so I strongly believe manufacturer and dealership they all knows this issues but can not fix it, please have someone inspect this issue, if need my car please call me or email me any time, thanks, and my name is [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
