| Description of the problem | On 4 separate times i attempted to slow the vehicle on the highway, applied the brake pedal and the pedal was locked/frozen. I brought the vehicle to the dealer i bought it from, they didn't find a problem gave me the car back. I called jeep they told me to bring it to another dealer, i did. I left the car there 10 days they told me they could not replicate the problem so there was nothing they could do or jeep/chrysler could do. I drove the car home from the dealer and the exact problem happened 20 minutes after leaving there. I will not drive this car anymore.. The braking system is defective. I had two other people test drive the car and they experienced the same issue. |
