AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TODAY MY BRAKES FAILED, AND WHEN I SAY FAILED I MEAN I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW FRIGHTENING THIS WAS. I MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR BY SHIFTING IT BACK INTO PARK. I WAS ABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST. SINCE 2/12 (TIME OF PURCHASE) UNTIL 8/14 I HAVE RECEIVED 3 RECALLS (CYLINDER MISFIRE, BRAKE BOOSTER AND SUN VISOR WIRING) ON THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE! I RECEIVED THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. IT TOOK A FEW MONTHS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE OF LACK OF PARTS IN STOCK. I FINALLY GOT AN APPOINTMENT ON 10/8/14 AT KELLY JEEP, LYNNFIELD, MA (PLACE OF PURCHASE) TO HAVE BOTH THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE SUN VISOR WIRING REPAIRED. THE CYLINDER MISFIRE WAS REPAIRED BEFORE THIS TIME AND BEFORE I ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE RECALL BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH THE ENGINE. AFTER THE BRAKES FAILING ME TODAY, I AM GRATEFUL THAT I WAS NOT ON THE STREET/HIGHWAY, THAT NONE OF MY CHILDREN WERE DRIVING THE CAR OR I WAS NOT DRIVING SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD IN A CARPOOL. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT IF THE BRAKES FAILED JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR EVEN WORSE, HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE, FOR THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ON 10/8/14. *TR

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE P14 REGARDING THE BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE IN OR AROUND MAY 2014. I CALLED THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO MY HOUSE AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE TOO BUSY, UNDERSTAFFED, HAD GUYS IN TRAINING AND HAD NO TIME TO FIX THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS ED TOMKO CHRYSLER IN AVON LAKE, OHIO. THEY ASSURED ME THIS WAS NOT A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I ASKED THEM TO CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY HAD TIME TO DO THE WORK AND THEY REFUSED, SAYING IT WAS UP TO ME TO CALL THEM. I CALLED AGAIN IN JULY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ON FEBRUARY 28, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, WHICH CAUSED A SEVERE BRAKE APPLICATION PROBLEM. BY SOME MIRACLE, I AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY INCHES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY BUT WAS TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS GONE FOR THE DAY. I CALLED ON MONDAY MARCH 2 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WOULD BE ON APRIL 21. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT HE WAS TOO BUSY, UNDERSTAFFED AND HAD GUYS IN TRAINING. THIS WAS ALMOST WORD FOR WORD HIS EXCUSE FROM LAST YEAR. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE NUMBER 800-853-1403 BUT HUNG UP AFTER 51 MINUTES, HEARING OVER 50 TIMES "THANK YOU FOR HOLDING, YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US...." THE LIES OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THE INCOMPETENCE OF CHRYSLER COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE IF THE BRAKE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. THANK YOU. *TR

A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN EARLY 2014. ON JULY 31, 2014, I REQUESTED THE REPAIR, BUT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BACK-ORDERED. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES, MONTHLY, TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR, BUT WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ON FEBRUARY 13, 2015, OUR GRAND CHEROKEE'S BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED, CAUSING DIFFICULTY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC. HE SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER DUE TO A FAILURE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND ALSO SUBJECT TO THE RECALL, THE PART SHOULD BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED AT NO COST. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE PART WAS AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR SINCE IT HAD FAILED, BUT THE PART WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO ME IF IT HAD NOT FAILED. ALMOST SEVEN MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE I REQUESTED THE REPAIR UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. IF IT HAD NOT FAILED, IT IS NOT KNOWN HOW MUCH LONGER IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN TO GET THE REPAIR PERFORMED. I UNDERSTAND I WAS 30-SOMETHING IN LINE FOR THE REPAIR, BUT THERE IS MORE THAN 100 WAITING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY ARE RECEIVING A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY FOR THE RECALL PARTS. THE JEEP SAFETY BULLETIN, FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.JEEP.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/P14.PDF, INDICATES A COMPLAINT SHOULD BE FILED IF THE REPAIR IS NOT COMPLETED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I DO NOT BELIEVE SEVEN MONTHS IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THIS RECALL, DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH IT. A PROMPT REMEDY COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE NEAR-ACCIDENT EXPERIENCED AT THE INTERSECTION. *TR
