| Description of the problem | A few months ago there was a recall on my brake booster. I had been on the waiting list for 3 months waiting for this part. I was assured that my jeep was safe to drive. On friday nov 7th my brakes went out and i had to push really hard on the brakes in order to stop using both of my feet. Luckily i did not cause an accident, which could have killed myself or someone else. I am very disappointed in chrysler with all these recalls. I had to use my triple a and have my car towed to the dealership. Although the dealership was nice enough to give me a rental, i think that i need to be reimbursed for using my triple a. After i pay this jeep off i will not be buying nothing made by chrysler and will trade it in. It does not make any sense to be on a waiting list for 3 months waiting for something that is a vital importance to my safety. The next person may not be so lucky and it could be fatal and turn into a law suit. |
