I JUST READ AN ARTICLE IN THE MAY 2016 ISSUE OF TRAILER LIFE MAGAZINE INVOLVING FORD F-150 AND THERE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. THE EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH MY JEEP. I WAS PULLING OUR CAMPER (UNLOADED), DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL OF MY JEEP WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I GOT SAFELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE FUID LEVEL. THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR WAS LOW BUT NOT EMPTY. I MANAGED TO GET HOME, ABOUT 6 MILES AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK THE TO JEEP DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD DEVELOPED A VACUUM LEAK (THEY SAID) CAUSING COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER, DID A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB, REPLACED ALL ROTORS AND FLUSHED SYSTEM. $1350 LATER I WAS BACK ON THE ROAD. UNTIL I READ THIS ARTICLE I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. HOPEFULLY IT IS A COINCIDENCE.

THE JEEP HAS ONLY 43,880 MILES WHEN I WENT TO THE JEEP DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1602 PLUS TAX. THIS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD AND SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE . THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE PART.
