Rear brakes are disabled, causing vehicle not to stop properly. Consumer adds vehicle will not stop in icy conditions unless in 4wd. In 2wd the front brakes lock up while the rear brakes are pushing vehicle. Dealer contacted but could not repair until Chrysler redesigned the brake lines.

The rear brakes don't provide any stopping assistance,the front brakes lock up on gravel and the rear wheels never slide or provide any stopping power. When you back up on gravel or any slick surface the front wheels always slide even on level ground. When backing down a hill on gravel or a slick surface the Jeep wont stop unless I use the hand brake along with the brakes. I have tested this on several occasions and it is the same each time. The dealer just says they are adjusted to factory specifications. The rear brakes provide little or no stopping power!.
Front brakes lock up on slick roads and then no control. I have taken it back several times. Took back the other dy and the shop foreman almost went in a ditch. I dont let my wife drive as it is dangerous. It has antilock brakes on front. The shop man said that I need to get someone from factory to look at. I cannot get any satisfaction from company. I took it to another dealer the other day and he said that there was no way to stop this Jeep on a slick road. I would like for some factpry person to look at it. As it is very dangerpus. I do not drive it on snowy roads as you cant stop it in 2-wheel drive. I woulappreciate your help on this matter.

When the brakes were applied at any speed the vehicle would pull to the left.
Vehicle was involved in a crash. To avoid a head on collision, driver applied brakes and Jeep veered to the left, making head-on impact with a bridge. After flipping several times ended up over guard rail on river bank beside a tree. Driver sustained massive severe injuries and permanent disabilities. No recalls were issued until after vehicle was totaled and destroyed. Airbag team was called at time of incident and stated to look at vehicle would only be a waste of their time and our money. I was shocked to find there were defects in the srs, I thank god I was not killed in this crash because of obvious defects.
Consumer states that the rear brakes don't work properly. Brakes don't stop, keeps rolling causing vehicle to skid when brakes are applyed. Nlm.

Brake fluid reservoir cap leaks brake fluid, making it impossible to maintain brake fluid at the design level. Dealership provided me with a new cap which also leaked. This could cause a loss of brake fluid and a loss of brakes.
No back brakes.
