New WK2 owner here!
It has been 2 weeks since I bought a 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 HEMI. I enjoy the truck but my short experience has been damaged by two occurrences of the same glitch. When I was backing into a parking spot or backing out of my garage, the truck chimed an alarm, engaged the brakes, and showed big red "!BRAKE" on the main cluster. I hit the brake, the "!BRAKE" indication disappeared, and then I could continue backing in/out.
What was that? Is there some kind of a system that can engage brakes for me when I'm moving in reverse at 1mph or less? If so, what could trigger it?
On both occasions I did not have the parking brake engaged. I also checked the brake fluid level and it is about 1/4in above the MAX mark.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
