| Description of the problem | My name is [xxx]. I run a repair shop called glen allen service center. We have had 3 jeep wranglers (2007, 2007, and 2008) that have needed brake hose replacement in the last 4 months. The first one we noticed the hose was swollen where a rubber cover is made over the steel line crimp at the frame and the brake caliper. We advised the customer to replace it which he did. The other two were towed in with complete brake system failure (brake pedal to the floor). Chrysler has redesigned the hoses but there has been no recall issued. Both chrysler dealers parts departments i deal with seem to not know about this. There should be a recall ordered as this is a serious safety issue. You can reach me at [xxx] if you have any questions. Thank you for your time. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
