Description of the problem | Ever since buying my 2014 jeep patriot the brakes have been faulty. If i drive over a bumpy road and slowly press on my brakes to slow down it becomes very faulty and the pedal feels as if i am breaking through the ground. I have to quickly release, wait till i am on flat ground and press on the brakes again to have a better grip on braking. This also happened when i had to brake abruptly. The car overall is fine, it's just the brakes have been acting up since the beginning. And it doesn't matter if i'm on the freeway or in a residential area, i always need to be aware of this because it always happens. The jeep has a manual transmission but i don't think that should matter because my roommate has the same exact car but an automatic and she has the same exact issue with her car as well. |
