Consumer Description

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. *JB
