Two problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 2012 Jeep Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brake booster failure. Dealer states "low assist". Jeep has no stopping power at all, pedal is hard and vehicle just keeps rolling. Parts are nationally backordered. From what I'm reading online this is a large scale problem. Moisture is getting in the booster and freezing, causing brakes to fail. I have a case number open with Jeep.
I currently lease a 2012 Jeep grand Cherokee laredo and the other day my wife and son were driving the car and the brakes completely failed. They would not depress even at 5-10 mph and if completely slammed to the floor the abs would pump bake fighting the brake pressure. They went through a red right and luckily were not hurt. Later the brakes begin working and we dropped it off at the service center. Once there they test drove it and almost crashed as the brakes would not work. They said it needs a new brake booster, but the part is on back order and there are actually 3 other cars at that service station which needs the same part. I have read a couple posts on various websites with people having the same issue. I was wondering if others have experienced the same issue? (on another note no one has been able to help us with either a loaner car or paying for a rental as the car has 38k miles so technically out of warranty. . So that's been fun). Thanks.
