Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

The brakes totally failed in my 1999 Jeep Wrangler. The steel brake lines had rusted and the brake petal went to the floor. The vehicle is used in a suburban home environment and I feel that brake lines should not totally fail. We feel we were very lucky this happened in a parking lot not driving on the highway.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact drove into a mud puddle and then across a grass field. Three days later, he took the vehicle to the car wash and the check engine light illuminated. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they found a failure at the brake purge tank, which ripped and caused the brake line to pull down. The dealer informed the manufacturer that the cause of the failure was due to reckless driving. Therefore, the manufacturer stated that the warranty does not cover aggressive driving, only defected parts. The contact feels that his vehicle was designed to be driven on rough terrain; therefore, the brake purge tank is defective. The current and failure mileages were 10,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-dr 4x4. The contact stated maybe there was a safety defect on his vehicle. The rear brake line, which is located on both sides of the vehicle, was not secured within the wheel. The lines were located near the tires and rims. The current and failure mileages were 832. Updated 01/02/08. The consumer stated there was no failure. This is just an owners concern regarding the location of the brake lines and their exposure to damage due too many potential sources. Updated 12/12/07.

Hard brake line leading to the rear axle burst with a loss of braking. Brake line, as it passed over the frame near the front wheel well was severely rusted and crumbling. When removing the line for replacement the line also broke in half at one of the clips mounted on the frame.

1. Immediate loss of braking due to rusted brake lines 2. Replaced rusted brake lines; 3. I saved old parts.

No rear brakes and the front brakes locked up. The trouble takes place mostly when it snows or when it is slippery. The back brakes have never worked. Dealer changed everything in the brake system, except the master cylinder. Inspector from Jeep came ,. And worked on it. Then, they said the nature of the beast was not to have any rear brakes. Parts that were changed included three sets of brake shoes/two rear brake drums/two sets of rear wheel cylinders, proportional valve/abs computer for brake system, and two brake lines.
