2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee service brakes problems

“I took my vehicle to Vaden Jeep on Chatham Parkway in Savannah, GA for the recall on the brake booster and was told there was a waiting liat to get parts to repair my vehicle. It have been over a year and I still have not received anythi g regarding my brake booster. Also, the recall for the TPIM for my make/model does not seem to be done. My vehicle still acts though it was never done.”

“The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard without warning while attempting to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective brake booster. The mechanic discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V154000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic) which the mechanic linked to the failure. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact was then referred to the manufacturer. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 157,000.”

“The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle lunged forward. The contact stated that the RPM light and an unknown warning light were illuminated when the crash occurred. The contact stated that when the vehicle lunged forward, the front bumper of the vehicle crashed into the rear bumper of the other vehicle. The contact's vehicle came to a stop once the impact was made and damage was sustained to the front bumper and the rear bumper of the other vehicle. The vehicle was driven to a dealer where the vehicle's front bumper was repaired. The dealer was unable to determine the failure. A police report was filed and there were no injuries.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The contact also stated that the mechanics informed her that the vehicle's alignment was off and as a result the tires would wear down ina a unusual way.…”

“My vehicle in the last 2 days has randomly shutoff completely while driving on the highway. I was able to place in neutral, then restart the vehicle thank goodness without being rear-ended or a collision. The vehicle has been repaired before (NHTSA Campaign ID: 19V813000) and (Chrysler's recall number V62). The vehicle at this point I fear is too dangerous to drive. I am going to have the car towed to the dealership in hopes of reinstalling the fuel pump relay hack. There are many of the same complaints online from other drivers with the same vehicle. Something else needs to be done about this soon before someone gets killed.”

“The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the brake pedal was slow to respond. The driver had to continuously pump the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer for repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V572000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake booster and brake master cylinder needed to be replaced; however, the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the repairs were not covered under recall or warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.”

“There was a recall on my car for the brake booster water shield, water could get into the brake booster and cause corrosion and can cause the brakes to stop working. The recall was "fixed" about a month ago, but the brake booster still failed - my best guess is because water already got inside of the booster and already caused corrosion. My brakes began to fail while driving on the highway. When the brake booster blew out it also caused so much pressure that it blew out the master cylinder. The master cylinder is not part of the recall - according to JEEP No damage caused by the recall of the brake booster is under the recall and warranty EXCEPT the brake booster. The supposed fix itself here is faulty. This could have had a way worse outcome if I could not get my car to a stop. The other part of this is that the piece to fix this is on national back order with no estimated ship date.”
