2018 Jeep Wrangler Brakes Problems

“My vaccum booster failed. My son was driving my Jeep that only has 2000 miles on it. He was driving in dry warm condition. He drove in the suburbs on a main street. He hit the brakes and nothing happened which caused him to rear end someone. Edr report has been done. Insurance has investigated and well. Unfortunately chrysler wont own up to the fact that the vaccum booster was faulty.”

“On cold mornings while parked, the brake will not depress and the car will not start. After multiple attempts or after the car warms up, it will start. This has happened on multiple occasions. On christmas morning after finally getting the car to start, the steering wheel locked up while I was driving on the highway (65 MPH) on a straightaway. It happened twice that day. I was told until they can duplicate it, they cannot fix it. I do not feel safe in this vehicle.”

“This was found during a tire replacement. The left rear brake was coated with oil that I was told came from the rear transmission seal next to the wheel leaking. The vehicle was, at times, hard to stop. I was forced to slam on the brakes to get vehicle to stop. The anti-lock brake feature seemed to stop working and I would skid to a stop. There was no consistency in the occurrence of this symptom. The dealer told us that they were replacing the rear axle assembly to fix the problem.”

“While driving approximately 40 MPH through a double curve on a city street the steering locked up on my 2018 Jeep wranlger. A steering error, check engine light, traction control and ABS light all came on. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealer. This is now the 3rd time the vehicle has been taken to the dealer (twice via tow). Each time, the scanner has given the same codes yet FCA has returned the vehicle to me stated its fixed. The steering locking up could have resulted in an accident harming myself or another vehicle.”

“Takata recall - while coming off the interstate, I started braking because vehicles were stopped at the top of the exit ramp to turn onto the overpass (highway). The vehicle would not stop. On three separate times the brakes did not function proper. They would not grip. Felt light hydro-plaining or like they would not lock. The vehicle had more than enough distance to stop and I was braking before I left the interstate. On the third try, the brakes failed again, causing an accident. My son was in the vehicle and kept asking why we were not slowing down and stopping. …”
