Description of the problem | Report receipt date: apr 01, 2014 nhtsa campaign number: 14v154000 component(s): service brakes , service brakes, hydraulic jeep has not derived the correct test to correct this issue. My brakes failed last winter due to this very issue. Jeep would not correct the brake issue until they did a formal recall and letters were sent. I now have my letter and went to the dealer. The dealer refuses to replace the brake booster as it apparently passes the test jeep established. They only put up the booster shield. The problem is that the water already did get into my brake booster and my brakes froze. I nearly had three accidents over the course of the winter 2013/2014. I expect i will have more close calls if not a full on accident this year when my brakes again freeze up and stop working. This needs to be addressed, and jeep needs to replace all these boosters. Jeep are not only sending me back out on the road with a dangerous vehicle, but thousands of others who allegedly passed the test, yet will freeze again this winter. Unfortunately, we need to become a statistic before jeep properly corrects the issue. |
