Four problems related to brake hoses, lines/piping, and fittings have been reported for the 2002 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Right front brake line rusted along frame rail causing line to split at which time both right and left front as well as both rear brake operation failed completely.
While driving 65 mph in my Jeep Wrangler on the highway I braked as usual and next thing I know the brake pedal went straight to the floor. I had a total brake loss failure. I pump the brake pedal, but the pedal would not regain stopping power. I swerved violently to the irght side of the highway and almost rear ended a truck. I managed to use the emergency brake to slow down my Jeep Wrangler. No injuries, no property damage. . . Lucky me. The reason for brake pedal loss was due to rust which ate at the brake line over time and then finally the brake line gave out. I had to replace the entire brake lines in my Jeep Wrangler. Very pricey repair. Wish I was informed of this safety issue problem. The outcome could have been much worse!.
Corrosion on the rear brake lines caused catastrophic failure of brakes. This is a ten year old vehicle that I bought from the dealer. Fortunately, the failure occurred in a parking lot.
Pulling out from gas station after fueling up, almost killed a pedestrian walking across my pathway because suddenly without any warning lost all brake functionality due to premature brake line corrosion induced brake line rupture and loss of the entire brake fluid. The Jeep Wrangler has a 82,455 mile in it. The vehicle also had just a year before inspected (and passed as ok) its break system by a qualified Dodge service station.
