| Description of the problem | Each time i have been driving the vehicle when the brakes failed without warning the last time (4th time) my car was in the shop because the tranmission seal had a leak. While the mechanic was test driving the car the brakes failed with him. When i have had been driving the jeep and the brakes failed i was pulling into different locations and the brakes would fail and not stop the car. The brake were as hard as a rock and just simply would not stop the car. I feel after 4 times this car is not repairable and i am now mentally anquished with driving it i am afraid the brakes will fail again and i might get into an accident because of the brake issue and possibly get hurt, killed, kill someone else this is without a doubt a safety issue. The mechanic at the dealership has even said the car is not safe. I have a case number with the chrysler manufacturer on the case. It is# 35139860 |
