Description of the problem | I was driving about 45 mph just after leaving my driveway and a deer jumped in front of the car. When i move my foot from the gas peddle to the brake peddle in a hurry during engine warm up the power brakes do not work. I can not stop the car. I can not engage the abs or slide the tires. I push the brake peddle as hard as i can and there is no power brakes. I had the dealer service look at it 3 or 4 times and they even tried some other new cars that are the same make and model and said that they have the same problem. And that this problem is not repairable because all the jeep cherokees are the same way, only some have the problem worse. This problem is only apparent during engine warm up. It seems to be a lack of vacuum to the power brake module when you move your foot from the gas to the brake, in a split second, during an emergency stop. My car is still not correct and dealer says that all jeep cherokees are not correct. Please help us jeep cherokee owners before we kill someone. Thank you, |
