Description of the problem | Vehicle was traveling down the freeway at a constant speed of 70mph with foot on the throttle pedal. Traffic from an on-ramp forced a quick/sudden stop (quick transition from throttle pedal to brake pedal). The brake pedal was completely frozen and would not depress for an extended period of time (vehicle would not decelerate). Forced driver to swerve off the freeway, and nearly crashed. Non-emergency (quick throttle to brake transition) braking is still functional. The situation was able to be recreated by both the driver and the service tech at the local dealership. Dealership confirmed that the issue is present on four other vehicles (one 2011, one 2012, and two 2013's) on their sales lot, as well as the vehicle in question. Dealership confirmed this has nothing to due with recall p05 (similar scenario). Dealership submitted a case to fca. Fca had them replace vacuum lines, another brake booster, and the vacuum pump. The issue was still present. Fca told them they could, at the expense of the consumer, try to splice some vacuum lines and see if the issue goes away. At the advice of the dealership, customer denied "troubleshooting" on their vehicle. Fca told dealer this issue has nothing to do with the p14 recall that was replaced a week prior (replaced twice) on the same vehicle (brake booster), and is not covered under that recall. Dealership is now giving the vehicle back to the customer with this condition still present. |
