Consumer Description

EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING THE LAST TIME (4TH TIME) MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE TRANMISSION SEAL HAD A LEAK. WHILE THE MECHANIC WAS TEST DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES FAILED WITH HIM. WHEN I HAVE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE BRAKES FAILED I WAS PULLING INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL AND NOT STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK AND JUST SIMPLY WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I FEEL AFTER 4 TIMES THIS CAR IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND I AM NOW MENTALLY ANQUISHED WITH DRIVING IT I AM AFRAID THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN AND I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE AND POSSIBLY GET HURT, KILLED, KILL SOMEONE ELSE THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN SAID THE CAR IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER ON THE CASE. IT IS# 35139860
