Consumer Description
BRAKE-BOOSTER VACUUM-TUBE IS LETTING OIL HIT MY BRAKES AND WHEN I STOP THE CAR IT SMOKES AND A REALLY BAD SMELL IS SUCKED IN BY THE A/C INTO THE CABIN AREA. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO NOT LETTING MY CAR STOP IN A SHORT DISTANCE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS WORD FOR WORD ON THE FCA WEDSITE ABOUT THE PROBLEM "BRAKE-BOOSTER VACUUM-TUBE ROUTING MAY INADVERTENTLY ALLOW OIL TO REACH THE BRAKE-BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM IN THE EVENT THAT THE VACUUM-PUMP CHECK VALVE FAILS; OIL MAY DEGRADE THE DIAPHRAGM AND LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST, LENGTHENING STOPPING DISTANCES AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I HAVE GONE TO EVERY DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST I CAN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. MY FEAR IS ONE DAY I MAY BRAKE AND THE CAR GOES UP IN FLAMES..
