Failure Date: 02/14/1997

I have e-mailed you several times and no answer. Front brakes on my Jeep lock up on slick road and you have no control, almost wrecked several times. Anti lock brakes do not work on front. Vehicle has anti-lock brakes on all four wheels. I cannot get any satisfaction from company. Servioce manager drove it and almost wrecked. Another mechanic drove it and said the only way that you could stop it on slick road was 4-wheel. I paid $23,900. 00 for it and should be able to drive it on sllick roads.

2 Brake Electric Antilock problem

Failure Date: 02/01/1997

I called Chrysler this a. M. And the girl hung up on me she said that I would have to get someone else to help me. I have had my 1997 Jeep Wrangler, sahara to garage I dont know how many times since it was new. It has anti-lock brakes on all 4-wheels and on slick roads the front wheels lock up and you cannot steer it then. In snow, gravel, grass etc. This is a very dangerous problem. I dont think that they should hang up on me as I own Dodge 1999 truck and cherokee limited all bought new.

Front wheel lock up on slick road-snow-mud. I have had it to garage several times. Very dangerous, one mechanic was about to wreck trying it out. Other mechanic said that you could not stop it on slick road except when it was in 4-wheel. Front wheels lock and you can steer. Chry. Finaly sent rep. In this week but he drove it in level dry field, he said that nothing was wrong with it. I dont drive it in snowy weather, will Chrysler reimburse me or pay for damages if I shouild wreck?.

5 Brake Electric Antilock problem

Front brakes only stop the vehicle, back brakes do not engage. On ice, the vehicle does not stop because the auto trans keeps the rear wheels turning whle the front slides. I have attempted to have this problem corrected several times.
