Description of the problem | The brake booster stopped working while i was driving with my family going 55mph coming to a complete stop. Come to find out there was a recall for the break booster (p14) indicating that corrosion may occur and water could be ingested. Chrysler put a shield (band aid) to prevent corrosion. This recall was performed and marked complete on my vehicle. One year and 7 months later my brake booster fails and the ever so helpful and friendly(that was sarcasm because they were horrible) associates at my local chrysler dealership did a diagnosis, determining that corrosion was not cause of my break booster failing. So now i have my personal mechanic replace the part. The part ordeed did not fit. Also, the master cylinder is leaking. So now i need both parts, which will cost me in the upper area of $290, nor including tax. This is an obvious issue with the brake booster part. The whole part is deffective for the make, modle and year. Chrysler is simply needs to replace the whole part. Not put a shield(band aid) it hoping it will hold. I am not the only customer out there who is experiencing this same issue. |
