| Description of the problem | Car is pulling to right when brakes depressed. Steering wheel shudders when brakes depressed. Started at <15k miles. Car now at 18. 3k and problem has become severe. Going to shop for brake check- possibly need new brakes- with <20k miles! This after months of hassle & towing bills to finally repair the torque converter recall that was supposedly fixed before the first towing incident. Have lost complete faith in car & if wasn't in lease would sell it immediately. Will never lease/purchase jeep again. *jb |
