Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I have a 2014 overland Jeep. It has 15000 miles on it. It's 2 yrs old. I paid $50,000 for it. I purchased the high end life time warranty. The rear brakes are totally not working and the front are very soft. I have taken it to a dealer and he checked the unit out at first he said the power booster was bad then after talking to Jeep they changed their story. He claims the rotors and pads are shot! I am pretty good at working on cars and trucks. I know for a fact the rotors and pads are not gone! I have had a few garages look at it and they said the same. Something is stopping the brake pressure on the rear brakes and only working partially on the front. I ask about recall p14 and n58. They said nothing! that is the loss of pressure from master cylinder from moisture. At present time I am afraid to drive the unit because I have already missed 2 stop lights because of poor braking ability I was only doing 50 on a 4 lane divided highway and could not bring it to a full stop before the light. This needs to be checked out.

The vehicle went in for 4 recalls that I was never notified of, other than a flier from autonation saying I have 4 open recalls. I contacted and schedule this immediately upon receipt. They were looking at the brake booster recall and found the master cylinder to be shot. I've driven lots of cars for over a million miles and never had a master cylinder go before. This is alarming that at 45k miles this is shot. This part must be defective. In addition, this appears to be a common occurence with 193 such complaints on carcomplaints. Com. I've talked to fiat Chrysler and they are refusing to assist with this. I am certain they are correct in identifying the issue as I have noticed some break deterioration recently. Just because there wasn't an accident installing faulty brake master cylinders on vehicles is a highly dangerous proposition.

I took my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee into the dealership to have two recalls addressed, both regarding the brakes, I believe. Upon working on the vehicle, the master cylinder "fell apart," accordion to the service advisor. The master cylinder is on nationwide backorder, and I will be in a rental until "mid-November 2014. " really? this is unacceptable. How does a master cylinder "fall apart"?.

I was driving approx 30mph on a surface street and attempted to brake as a moved into a left turn lane. The brakes did not respond to touch and my foot nearly went to the floor. The Jeep decelerated to almost a stop until I briefly reaccelerated to approx 5mph (because I was stunned and thought there was no way that the brakes had failed on a brand new vehicle) and attempted to brake again but my foot nearly went to the floor again without a brake response. The power brakes were definitely not working, and the braking power with my foot nearly to the floor was incredibly unresponsive. I coasted into a parking lot, hit the roadside assistance button in my Jeep, and the vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership for repair. Even the tow driver noted how unresponsive the brakes were as he loaded the vehicle on the truck. The service advisor at the dealership called a few hours later to tell me that this incident happened because the Jeep's "master cylinder failed" and that "the parts are on national backorder" and "the parts are being built. " he said my Jeep is the first 2014 that this has happened to and advised that I would be in the loaner rental car for a minimum of one week while they await the parts to repair the Jeep.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v643000 (air bags, seat belts); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact was concerned that the air bag would deploy in his face. The vehicle burned oil continuously and there was blue fumes coming from the rear of the vehicle. In addition, the horn sounded and the hood latch failed. The dealer repaired the vehicle. The brake master cylinder protective plate was repaired under NHTSA campaign notification p67. The fuel door mechanism was fractured and the dealer repaired the vehicle. The dip stick was not replaced. A grinder was marked for a new factory dip stick. The contact also stated that the dealer placed too much oil in the vehicle. When the vehicle was new with less than 200 miles, the instrument cluster failed and the contact could not see how fast the vehicle was driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed a short circuit in the sun visor wiring. The vehicle was repaired. The contact also stated that the locks unlocked on their own. When the button was pushed on the key fob to open the rear tailgate, it would not respond. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 11,351.
