Description of the problem | My wife was driving our 2011 grand cherokee overland yesterday and was stopped with her foot on the brake in a drive thru. While it was stopped with her foot on the brake petal went right to the floor and the jeep started to move forward. No brakes!!! She said she heard a air type sound when it happened. Fortunately she was able to coast safely to a parking spot until i could get there. After getting it to the dealer the called me and said it was the brake booster. No details were given to me other than it failed. All i can say is thankfully it happened where it did. There are so many situations that this could have cost her life or someone else's. Now every time she or i drive it we will be thinking about when the brakes will go out again. Hope we can get over that or it's gone. She was shaking for hours afterwards and was physically drained later in the day. Again, thankfully it happened while stopped. |
