FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

I was driving on the highway merging on a bridge before entering a tunnel, there was a car in from of me that was rolling slow. My Forward Collision Warning did not go off when the car was in front of me but when the car was about 3-4 car lengths away and was driving away the warning went off and the emergency automatic brake engaged and there was nothing in front of me. I was almost rear ended and could not get my Jeep to move. The automatic brake disengaged and I was then able to drive normally.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION

*Radio, navigation / all sound loss (intermittently) *Radio freezes as well as display (intermittently) *Blind spot warning - beeps at inappropriate times for example when 2 lanes turn left it beeps making you think you are going to hit someone *Back-up Camera - freezes on screen and/or turns black *climate control - does not remain on the setting you put it on *bluetooth - randomly begins to play something when it should not *vehicle is turned off, door closed and locked, but radio will remain on and continue to play in vehicle. All of these things cause immense distraction and pose great danger to a driver as well as other drivers on the road. This vehicle had a little over 4,000 miles on it when I purchased it. Purchased dec 2020 and Uconnect replaced by dealer early 2021. The same issues are occurring with the replacement system. Took jeep in today, on 10/4/2021 and they say they have ordered another Uconnect system however, I doubt it will fix these issues. Very disappointed in this vehicle for it to be such an expensive purchase.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

The AutoPark sensors, ( Park Collision Warning), in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler randomly triggers and engages AutoPark. The false triggers randomly occur when the vehicle is in reverse. The condition occurs at very low speed after the brake is touched. The false triggers occur during daylight or night conditions. Once AutoPark is engaged the vehicle will not move. The engine must be turned off and sometimes the AutoPark switch must be turned off before the vehicle will move. There is usually no object within 15 feet of my vehicle to trigger the autopark sensors. I videotaped some of the occurrences using my cell phone. The Jeep service department is not able to diagnose the problem. In addition, the false triggers are not creating system log entries to prove the event occurred. Jeep service department will not use my videos as evidence the event happened. Jeep Service will not escalate the problem unless their service department can recreate the condition. My video is 200MB, exceeds your upload limits.
