1 Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2020

While driving vehicle at approx 45mph in the rh lane approaching an intersection with an illuminated green right-turn arrow(my lane), a vehicle in the same lane, traveling same direction, suddenly stopped at the green light at the intersection. I immediately applied hard presssure to brake pedal, only to have it slam straight to the floor-board with very little braking action. I was able to quickly down-shift and apply parking brake in time to avoid collision with stopped vehicle. I carefully drove vehicle to my home, approx 3 miles from incident intersection. Upon inspection I noted brake master-cylinder empty (it was topped-off to "max" line when checked evening prior), and hydraulic fluid sprayed all-around right (passenger)-side front inner wheel and puddled/dripping at banjo-bolt. You-tube research found a similar situation with a Jeep 2 model years older than mine. . Read more...
