“On monday october 16, 2017 I started my Jeep to leave for work. As I backed out of my parking space at my apartment and felt the brake pedal go to the floor. I almost hit a nearby car but was able to pull the car into an opposite parking space and the curb helped me stop the car. I had been driving the car the day before without any indication of a problem. I was able to have the car towed to a nearby repair center. The mechanic called me to explain that the brake cable had corroded and that this was the second older Jeep that he had seen with this problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11036075, filed 2017-10, 123,578 miles“Whenever I go to work I have to go up down a mountain, when I brake the front wheels of my Jeep wobble out of control, shaking my steering wheel out of control. When I put on my brakes it gets worse, I pulled over because I thought the wheels were going to come off. When I did a man who saw me coming down the mountain said he could see my wheels wobble he thought they were going to fall off!! He moved a bar in the front of my Jeep and said this shouldn't move and to have it towed. I had it towed to the nearest Jeep dealership they said there was nothing wrong with my car! …”
NHTSA complaint #10293578, filed 2009-11, 30,000 miles“After being in park without using the ebrake, the ebrake light went on. Following was a squeeling screeching noise. The breaks in rear drivers side remain locked doing damage to the caliper and rotor. There is something mechanically wrong with the brakes where they will not stop applying pressure. This is not the first complaint I have seen in a similar situation with the same make model and year car. This should not be happening with such a new vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10519369, filed 2013-06, 48,000 miles“Brake light has been in forever, had checked, not an issue but...began noticing on highway. Not so severe to have to stop to regain control. About a year ago iit happened at lower speeds, as few as 35mph, any uneven surface, bump, texture or level change sets it off. Tapping or use of the brakes. Death wobble occurs. A slight tremor radiating from steering column then through the entire Jeep. So intense that it feels like the tires are turning sideways, maintaining control, steerin and braking extremely difficult. Regular braking does not help. Hars brake only. Haven't come to complete stop. …”
