2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE JEEP HAS NO BRAKE PEDAL, VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE DEALER HAS THE VEHICLE AND SAID IT HAS A RECALL ON THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING ON THE PART FROM CHRYSLER BUT IT HAS BEEN 9 DAYS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A ETA. THE JEEP IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT ANY SPEED THEREFORE WE ARE FORCED TO LEAVE THE JEEP AT THE DEALER FOR A UNDETERMINED TIME. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO I REPORTED A LACK OF RESPONSE WHEN BRAKING. DEALER LOOKED AT THE SYSTEM AND FOUND NO ISSUE. REPORTED IT AGAIN TWO WEEKS AGO. DEALER LOOKED AT THE SYSTEM AND FOUND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED CHANGING. GOT THE VEHICLE BACK LAST WEEK AND THE PROBLEM HAS RE-OCCURRED. AT A STANDSTILL WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL YOU GET AN AIR BRAKE TYPE SOUND, AND A SLIGHT KNOCK, WHICH APPEARS TO COMING FROM THE COMPARTMENT BEHIND THE PEDAL. ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED AGAIN TO THE DEALER. THANKS, *TR

REPORT RECEIPT DATE: APR 01, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 COMPONENT(S): SERVICE BRAKES , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC JEEP HAS NOT DERIVED THE CORRECT TEST TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. MY BRAKES FAILED LAST WINTER DUE TO THIS VERY ISSUE. JEEP WOULD NOT CORRECT THE BRAKE ISSUE UNTIL THEY DID A FORMAL RECALL AND LETTERS WERE SENT. I NOW HAVE MY LETTER AND WENT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS IT APPARENTLY PASSES THE TEST JEEP ESTABLISHED. THEY ONLY PUT UP THE BOOSTER SHIELD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WATER ALREADY DID GET INTO MY BRAKE BOOSTER AND MY BRAKES FROZE. I NEARLY HAD THREE ACCIDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WINTER 2013/2014. I EXPECT I WILL HAVE MORE CLOSE CALLS IF NOT A FULL ON ACCIDENT THIS YEAR WHEN MY BRAKES AGAIN FREEZE UP AND STOP WORKING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AND JEEP NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL THESE BOOSTERS. JEEP ARE NOT ONLY SENDING ME BACK OUT ON THE ROAD WITH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE, BUT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO ALLEGEDLY PASSED THE TEST, YET WILL FREEZE AGAIN THIS WINTER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE NEED TO BECOME A STATISTIC BEFORE JEEP PROPERLY CORRECTS THE ISSUE. *TR
