Description of the problem | I received a letter jan/2018 for a power brake booster recall. Took the vehicle into the dealership had the repair done feb/2018. June 5th, 2018 i pulled into the gas station and filled up, when i pulled out of the gas station i tapped the brake and there was nothing there. The breaks went completely out, i was forcing my whole body weight on the breaks to get the jeep to stop!! There was a truck coming and all i could think of is my small child in the back seat. I have very quick responses, but i was not expecting this to happen at all or even after a recall fix???? I have never been so terrified in my whole life and being so helpless in this situation! I am really shaken up and glad no one got hurt. It was too close to be a close call. Chrysler you need to fix this issue or get all of these models off the road before someone gets seriously hurt or worse killed. Now i have to trade this jeep in because it is a death trap and i will always be terrified to drive it especially toting my kids around. Breaks are very important and this is a serious recall issue!!!! |
