| Description of the problem | I have a 2014 overland jeep. It has 15000 miles on it. It's 2 yrs old. I paid $50,000 for it. I purchased the high end life time warranty. The rear brakes are totally not working and the front are very soft. I have taken it to a dealer and he checked the unit out at first he said the power booster was bad then after talking to jeep they changed their story. He claims the rotors and pads are shot! I am pretty good at working on cars and trucks. I know for a fact the rotors and pads are not gone! I have had a few garages look at it and they said the same. Something is stopping the brake pressure on the rear brakes and only working partially on the front. I ask about recall p14 and n58. They said nothing! That is the loss of pressure from master cylinder from moisture. At present time i am afraid to drive the unit because i have already missed 2 stop lights because of poor braking ability i was only doing 50 on a 4 lane divided highway and could not bring it to a full stop before the light. This needs to be checked out |
