What owners wrote

I had the car for about 35 days. I was driving home from work on a side street and my brakes failed. I applied the brakes as I was coming upon a 3 way stop sign. My breaks jammed,and failed to stop. I hit another car and we both walked away with minor injuries. My jeep was totaled. All airbags deployed and I had all front end damage. I feel their is either a problem with the break modulator, or the auto stop feature when you apply your breaks to stop. I was almost killed.

Vehicle won't start when pushing start button and applying brake pedal. 2017 jeep grand cherokee 3.6l v-6 engine, 44k miles. After turning off vehicle, it will not re-start when applying pressure to brake pedal and pushing start button. Replaced both main and auxiliary batteries, but same problem continues. Are there recalls or suggestions to fix this? I read that several vehicle have this problem what's the resolution?
