1 Power Assist Brake problem of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 03/23/2008

I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler unlimited x, automatic with 10,500 miles. I was traveling down an on ramp going about 40mph, light on the throttle and the Jeep hesitated, all of the gauges (speedometer, etc) shut off (showed 0), then all of the dash lights came on. During that 2 second period, I had no power steering, brakes or control over the throttle of the Jeep. This could have been much worse. I know there is a recall that covers this, but my Jeep falls out of the production date to get it taken care of. The "build" date is Feb. Of 2007. I am not the only one with the problem and the current recall is not taking care of this issue. This needs to be address before someone (like my family) gets seriously hurt. . Read more...

2 Power Assist Brake problem of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/29/2007

While coasting to a stop sign today, I went to press the brake pedal to find the pedal locked at the top of the travel. As I pressed the pedal, the abs started modulating like the tires were locked up, but they weren't as I was on dry pavement and not slowing down at all. I frantically pumped the brake pedal and after several depressions (3-5) the pedal unlocked and traveled normally allowing me to stop the vehicle.
