In owners' own words
Vehicle causes alerts that the indicated functions are not available or need servicing. Vehicle has been serviced at Jeep dealer for repair but continues to emit false messages that the stated safety features are not available. This is a safety hazard due to the alerts causing distraction while driving. Pop up on screen with a beep. Forward collision avoidance
While on the open road, no vehicles or obstructions ahead or behind, the jeep suddenly and momentarily jolted. Causing a similar reaction to what it feels like to have a minor collision, a sudden application of brakes, or perhaps a similar feeling hitting something small at highway speeds. Forward collision avoidance
Driving the vehicle under normal conditions and no obstacles in the vicinity, the forward collision warning will engage and in some instances cause automatic breaking causing temporary loss of control. Sensors are clean, software appears up to date. Forward collision avoidance
