| Description of the problem | 2007 jeep wrangler 4-door 6000 miles. First incident: sunny clear dry road conditions. Took exit ramp off expressway and while attempting to stop at intersection the brakes failed. Pedal went to the floor and jeep did not stop. After pumping brakes with no response i had to stop jeep by shifting into park. I was able to drive it, with brakes functioning less than a half mile home. I had the jeep towed (covered by warranty) the next morning. Dealer inspected and test drove without being able to repeat problem. Conclusion was no problem. Second incident: sunny clear dry road conditions. Took exit ramp off expressway and while attempting to stop at intersection the brakes failed. This time i held brakes to floor and the brakes eventually "kicked-in" and stopped the jeep. This time i drove to dealer and after another inspection of the jeep there was no problem found?!? Fortunately, both incidents did not result in any accidents as i was able to stop the jeep prior to entering the intersection. I'm praying there isn't a 3rd incident! |
