Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 1991 jeep cherokee. While driving at various speeds and attempting to stop the vehicle, the contact had to depress the brake pedal with extreme pressure to stop the vehicle. When the contact filled the vehicle with brake fluid, the fluid leaked out quicker than anticipated. As a result, the manual braking system had to be used instead of the power assist braking system. The brake warning light illuminated. Also, the horn sounded without warning and the power steering seized. The failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the power assist brake unit failed and needed to be replaced. The power steering failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 184,000. |
