NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:ELECTRICAL:CONTROL MODULE filed September 28, 2022

NHTSA complaint #1844226 (ODI reference 11486888) concerns a 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE and was filed on September 28, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 11, 2022. The vehicle had 55,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:electrical:control module, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP CHEROKEE cohort independently describe similar parking brake:electrical:control module failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
