| Description of the problem | The vehicle went in for 4 recalls that i was never notified of, other than a flier from autonation saying i have 4 open recalls. I contacted and schedule this immediately upon receipt. They were looking at the brake booster recall and found the master cylinder to be shot. I've driven lots of cars for over a million miles and never had a master cylinder go before. This is alarming that at 45k miles this is shot. This part must be defective. In addition, this appears to be a common occurence with 193 such complaints on carcomplaints. Com. I've talked to fiat chrysler and they are refusing to assist with this. I am certain they are correct in identifying the issue as i have noticed some break deterioration recently. Just because there wasn't an accident installing faulty brake master cylinders on vehicles is a highly dangerous proposition. |
