Consumer Description

I RECEIVED A LETTER JAN/2018 FOR A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE REPAIR DONE FEB/2018. JUNE 5TH, 2018 I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED UP, WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. THE BREAKS WENT COMPLETELY OUT, I WAS FORCING MY WHOLE BODY WEIGHT ON THE BREAKS TO GET THE JEEP TO STOP!! THERE WAS A TRUCK COMING AND ALL I COULD THINK OF IS MY SMALL CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE VERY QUICK RESPONSES, BUT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN AT ALL OR EVEN AFTER A RECALL FIX???? I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO TERRIFIED IN MY WHOLE LIFE AND BEING SO HELPLESS IN THIS SITUATION! I AM REALLY SHAKEN UP AND GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT. IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO BE A CLOSE CALL. CHRYSLER YOU NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR GET ALL OF THESE MODELS OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE KILLED. NOW I HAVE TO TRADE THIS JEEP IN BECAUSE IT IS A DEATH TRAP AND I WILL ALWAYS BE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY TOTING MY KIDS AROUND. BREAKS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL ISSUE!!!!
