| Description of the problem | 2014 jeep grand cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle braking problems. *smd the consumer stated water entered the brake booster, which caused it to freeze and reduced braking performance. Chrysler stated there was corrosion problem with the brake booster, caused by a small amount exposed, uncoated surface at the crimp joints, that allowed water to enter the booster and freeze. Chrysler stated if water did not enter the booster, there could still be a loss of vacuum that would require the driver to push harder than normal to slow down the vehicle. A fix for the problem was to use a shield to keep water from getting into the unit. *jb updated 06/11/14 |
