While driving my 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S, I experienced a sudden loss of regenerative braking, which caused the vehicle to take much longer to stop than normal.

My vehicle’s low beams are vertically obstructed by the front end design of the car - the low beams are set back in the headlight unit and at night they only project to a limited height on the roadway in front of the vehicle - this results in a very distinct line created and anything above that line cannot be seen - on a perfectly level roadway the projection of the low beams is adequate but when ...

The car would not accelerate but would then unexpectedly accelerate on its own. I had to diligently keep my foot in the brake as well as accelerate. The car wouldn’t go over 10ish mph. I held up traffic until I could get to an empty parking lot to turn off the car...
