Description of the problem | I am the second owner of a 2011 jeep grand cherokee that at the time of the incident had under 65k miles but was just 1 month over the warranty period. The temperature the morning of dec 18, 2014 was cold. I started jeep and proceeded to reverse out of driveway and pressed brake and heard a hissing sound from under the wheel dash. After driving for maybe 15 minutes the hissing stopped. Thus, every morning the hissing would happen at first start of jeep. On christmas day while driving on expressway the brake light comes on. I pull over to check fluids and found fluids were not leaking and at capacity. Pump my brakes and i notice i still have function. I take vehicle a day later to a local mechanic and was told they did not find a problem with vehicle brakes. On jan 20th took jeep to dealer and mechanic indicated issue was power brake booster. |
