Brake Grinding Noise Problems of Jeep Wrangler

Less than 30 days after purchasing my 2009 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sahara, I was driving it and went to press the brake pedal while the vehicle was in motion going approximately 35 mph. When I pressed the brakes I heard a grinding noise, my vehicle slowed down slightly but not as much as it normally did, it pulled to the left, and wobbled whenever I pressed the brakes causing me to momentarily loose control as a result of it fish tailing. I was unable to stop or slow the vehicle in the same amount of time as it normally took to do so. I immediately drove to an auto mechanic. I took it to pope davis tire & automotive located at 631 s assembly street in columbia south carolina where I was told my the manager, frank floyd that the fluid went bad and caused damage to all 4 hydraulic hoses, callipers, and rotors, and that they along with my pads all needed to be replaced. It cost me approximately $880. I found out later that there was an recall on the same year, make, and model. However, my specific VIN number did not have this recall. I feel that it was overlooked and I should be reimbursed.

Vehicle: 2007 Jeep 4 door Wrangler (unlimited) experienced complete loss of brakes while coasting uphill. I was approaching us-221 from a secondary road traveling uphill towards a stop sign. When I removed my foot from the accelerator and applied the brakes the pedal went to the floor making a grinding noise. I had no brakes to stop as I approached this busy highway which is heavily traveled by tractor trailers. I managed to stop the vehicle with the emergency brake just before entering the intersection. There was no stall from the engine during the whole event. If I had not acted quickly and panicked it is quite possible me and my family could have been severely injured or possible killed by entering this busy 55 mph highway. I was forced to leave the vehicle in the road and had to direct traffic around it for 1-1/2 hours while I waited for the Chrysler's tow truck. Once again this created a dangerous situation for me and people entering the intersection. Vehicle is at dealer however dealer states he cannot find anything wrong with it and is waiting for a reply from Chrysler on what to do. Chrysler stated yesterday on 9-17-07 that there is no recall for this item on my vehicle. National news states otherwise. Extremely dangerous problem with truck.
