Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

Purchased 5/19. Reported engine stall while driving to NHTSA. Took vehicle to dealer for brake recall. Tech said air in brake lines may have caused problem. Did not stall for a month and assumed solved. Started again in August. Very dangerous vehicle. Stalls when slowing for right hand turns and left turns crossing traffic which almost got me into a crash on a highway. Others have reported same issue and no response from manufacturer. Cannot take passengers as this is a pending disaster and is unsafe.

A one foot hydraulic brake line at the rear of my vehicle is badly rusted and the fittings are leaking.

As I drove on local roads, I noticed the brake pedal sank lower and lower with each stop. The brake light came. I made it to the repair shop, where the mechanic found two metal brake lines had ruptured due to corrosion, resulting in loss of brake fluid. Also, he noted the metal fuel rail had ruptured due to corrosion. All three are being replaced. This vehicle, which was purchased new, is not driven on the beach or along the ocean shoreline. It is driven only on surface streets and has never been submerged in a flood. It has never been in an accident. It is well-maintained, with oil changes every 3,000 miles, and regular tune-ups and filter changes. It is kept washed and waxed. I find it unnerving that two crucial systems suffered catastrophic failure in just 5 and half years, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to accident or fire. I don't know if this is due to a lack of corrosion protection or just an inferior metal, but I can tell you that in 32 years of vehicle ownership, I have never encountered such safety failures.

: the contact stated while driving 25 mph when depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle stopped and the pedal went to the floor, and the brakes became inoperable. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who replaced the brake line. Updated 12/01/06.

The steel brake line running under the passenger compartment of the auto corroded causing a complete and sudden loss of brake fluid for the rear brakes. The brake line corroded where it came in contact with a white plastic clip intended to secure and locate the brake line.

On 7/13/2005, my wife returned from work concerned that the brakes on her '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee were not working properly. She said that they were not stopping the vehicle, and that the brake pedal had more travel than normal. She also said that there was a leak from the car onto the driveway. Upon investigation, I determined that there was a hole in the rear brake line at a point where it was mounted onto the frame by a plastic clip. There was corrosion in the immediate vicinity of the clip, and the brake fluid was escaping through a hole in the corroded area. I have scheduled the vehicle for repair or replacement of the defective brake line. I notified the daimlerchrysler customer service department via email, and was informed that they would not repair nor replace the defective part without charge. The daimlerchrysler complaint reference number is 13791846.

Vehicle is a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 61900 miles. One brake line failed as a result of corrosion at two points where it is clipped to the car's frame. Brake pedal became soft and went almost to the floor. It would not pump up. Vehicle was taken to a firestone repair shop where the failed brake line was discovered. The line was replaced.

Brake line rusted thru,resulting in complete loss of brakes. Line is rusted wherever a clip holds it to the chassis. Other spots ready to rust through. Mfg. Refuses to pay for repair or consider the catastrophic safety issue this involves. Claim it is due to elements. . . . . Whole line is not rusted through, only where clip holds it. Car was driven normally, under same conditions others face, this could be a catastrophic failure causing death. Certainly your brake line should not fail after 2. 5 years with normal use. If the elements caused it, are the cars not supposed to be driven outside. Could be a reaction between the clip and the line caused by salt, but there are a lot of people driving through salt in the winter. They may die.
