File date | 12/03/14 |
Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Vehicle first exhibited a hissing noise whenever the car was first started and brakes applied for the first 5 minutes of running. On multiple occasions traveling at speeds of 10-40 mph did the brakes either delay or not fully respond. On two occasions this almost caused an accident when driver was forced to stop short. Very dangerous and contemplating whether to contact a dealership or local mechanic. Seems like a popular issue but little to nothing done by jeep. This is my 2nd grand cherokee, if issues like this keep occurring it will certainly be my last. I am the second owner, bought car at jeep dealership and it has about 51k miles. |
