| Description of the problem | While driving, i lost total use of my brakes. My car veered off the road and i was unable to maintain control of my vehicle. The loss of the brakes was sudden and totally unexpected, leaving me in an unsafe situation. When i was able to get my vehicle to the jeep dealer to be fixed, i was informed there were no jeep grand cherokee brake boosters available through any suppliers in the united states. I am concerned that the problem i experienced, along with the lack of available parts after the fact, means that this issue may be occurring frequently and is putting individuals in danger. |
