Description of the problem | On september 7th 2017 while driving back from jfk airport my car lost braking power, when i pressed the brakes the brakes touched the floor but the car would still keep moving. It almost caused me to hit multiple cars thanks to god i was in the left lane and went over a curb and grass and into a service plaza on belt parkway. This was very frightening, we could have rear ended the car in front of us going 55-60 mph. We got so sacred we were all shaking, we could have been killed or killed someone else. This is a serious issues. When i hit the brakes now the car slows down but does not come to a stop if you are moving fast. I called chrysler and they said there was a recall on brake booster which caused similar issue but according to them my cars vin number is not under this recall. The car has less than 63000 miles on it and this is unbelievable. I hope this will help someone from getting seriously injured. |
