| Description of the problem | I received a recall notice on my 2014 jeep grand cherokee stating the brake booster on my car may prematurely corrode and instructed to me to report to my local dealership as soon as possible. I made the appointment the day after receiving the letter in the mail, however when i showed up to the appointment the dealership informed that they were instructed by jeep to not inspect any cars until the parts came in. I asked when that would be and he was unsure, and said could be "more than a month" when i asked is this car safe to drive, he told me "just press harder down on the brakes". I was shocked to hear this when in the letter it says they are "sincerely concerned about your safety", yet something as crucial as the brakes could malfunction and cause a crash. As someone that commutes daily on busy i-95, this is extremely unsettling to me, and i am hesitant to continue driving, especially when the dealership informs me to call back in a month to find an update. |
