Tl the contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While reversing the vehicle, the brakes failed to completely stop the vehicle. The contact had to exert force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.

Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge, 1800 w 104th Ave, denver, CO 80234, (720) 907-0928) stated that the parts were not available. The dealer stated that they would repair the vehicle once the parts arrived.

Brake failure due to a faulty recall fix. Attempted to apply the brakes and the pedal was hard and hurt my foot trying to stop the Jeep. The brake booster recall was addressed in 2014 but the shield that was installed failed which led to the failure of the booster.
After driving on the highway for about 10 mins, I was slowing down due to traffic ahead. When I went to apply the brakes, they felt hard to apply pressure and my car was not slowing down. I had to drive off the road to avoid hitting the car in front of me. After I was able to come to a stop, I was able to drive slowly off the highway to the off ramp I was near and to a nearby dealership. They informed me that my brake booster failed even though I had the brake booster recall performed on my vehicle previously. Since I already had the recall performed, the replacement of the brake booster was not covered. If I never had brought my vehicle in for the recall, the replacement would have been covered. Seems weird to reward people who don't bother to have the recalls performed on their vehicles. From the large number of similar complaints, it seems obvious that the previous recall didn't fix the underlying issue. Luckily there was an open off-road area for me to safely swerve onto to prevent injury to myself and the cars in front of me.
The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the brakes failed to respond.

In 2014 had a brake booster recall on my vehicle. All parts were replaced related to the brake booster in may of 2014. On the first below freezing temperature of the season in 2016 my brakes failed when trying to stop at an intersection I went 20 feet pass the stop sign until I was able to stop. Luckily no other vehicles were at the intersection at this time. As I kept pumping the brakes while slowly continuing to drive the braking began to work. I had no other braking issues that day. The very next day with below freezing temperatures I was again unable to stop at the first intersection I approached again no other vehicles were at the intersection. I again continuously pumped the brakes while slowly driving and I immediately brought the vehicle to be serviced. My personal mechanic indicated the problem was with the brake booster. I contacted my dealer and after the dealers confirmation that the problem was the brake booster it has now been replaced again. I am extremely concerned that the parts used to replace the booster in the original recall are faulty parts therefore causing the same problem the recall was suppose to fix. I would like this known as I am sure I am not the only person who will have this issue with their brakes.
On one of the first cold days of the year while driving in a parking lot trying to come to a stop for a yellow light out of the lot my pregnant wife suddenly noticed she had no braking capability in her 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Luckily there was not much traffic and she was able to continue through the light then coast it to a slow enough speed to throw on the parking brake and put it into park. We had the vehicle towed to midas where they discovered the brake booster had failed. After researching the issue we found safety recall p14 / NHTSA 14v-154 which had previously recalled this part for this exact problem. The local Jeep dealer informed us that our vehicle had accomplished this recall and the part was replaced June 21, 2014. Little over 2 years later (Dec 15, 2016), the brake booster has already failed again on our vehicle with only 52,058 miles. Clearly the remedy for the initial recall did not solve the problem, so not only am I out ~700 dollars for the repair, but I don't know when the brakes will go out next. Will it be on a rainy day when my wife is driving down a busy highway with my child in the car?.

I received a recall notice for my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee which the dealer was aware of on 5/29/14 in reference to brake issues that could result in a complete brake failure. The parts were ordered, but as of 7/18/14 the dealer claims the replacement parts have still not been received from Chrysler and have no idea as to when the parts will be available. I think the loss of brakes is a serious issue and after having been reported 6 weeks ago the issue is still unresolved!.
