1 Brake Master Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2018

Jeep was having brake problems. Replaced all the brakes this spring and still having a problem. Took the Jeep in to the dealer in June to have the brake booster looked at, said it was fine. Since then the brakes have been getting worse. Today I crashed into the front of my house. There is something wrong with the brake booster, like I told Jeep back in June. This same thing is happening on many other Jeeps. Please something has to be done. The dealership is saying they looked at the "splash sheild" under the recall and since nothing was wrong they are not responsible for anything else on the booster. Please read other Jeep owners having the same problem. Https://jeepgarage. Org/f73/more-brake-booster-intrigue-186178. Html#/topics/186178?page=3. I took the master cylinder off and there is a bunch of rust inside the booster. It's a closed system, debris shouldn't be building up or rust shouldn't be getting in there. Maybe this was caused from the splash shield and water got inside?.

2 Brake Master Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2013

I started car, backed out of driveway, attempted to stop car, brake hard but would not stop car, complete loss of braking capability. Also loud hissing noise coming from under car. Car was brought to elmwood Chrysler e. Providence ri. Invoice no. 10569int. Cause found, brake booster and master cylinder faulty. Cost to repair $705. 37. I checked on line for Chrysler recalls, found two mentioning problems with brakes in Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured 11/2011 mfr on door is 11/11. Chrysler states recall id#102269 is in regards to brake boosters which is what went on my Jeep. As of 5/20/14 I have not received a recall notice, I sent all information and copies of invoices to Chrysler recall assistance center and Chrysler customer care on 4/3/14, received by them on 4/7/14, I received a call on 5/13/14 , spoke with bill, case no. 24885879 assigned by Chrysler, he was very rude, keep trying to get me to say that the brakes were soft, there were no brakes, pedal was hard to the touch, but no stoping power. Told me brake failure was not covered by recall. I am completely at a loss, not only of my $705. 37 but my respect and faith in Chrysler products, as from what I researched on line the recalls were for brake booster. Repair invoice states: cause found, brake booster & master cylinder faulty. This is the second major safety issue with this vehicle the first was in 8/2013, vehicle would automatically drop into first gear, it was a terrifying experience being that I was on the the highway traveling at 65 mph, to drop down to barely 5 mph, absolutely no acceleration, fortunately the solenoid-transmission & transduce-pressure sensor & nine other parts were covered under the warranty. I should be so lucky this time ! I feel that Chrysler has an obligation to stand behind it product when it come to the safety of the people who put their trust in them.
