Consumer Description
JEEP WAS HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. REPLACED ALL THE BRAKES THIS SPRING AND STILL HAVING A PROBLEM. TOOK THE JEEP IN TO THE DEALER IN JUNE TO HAVE THE BRAKE BOOSTER LOOKED AT, SAID IT WAS FINE. SINCE THEN THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE. TODAY I CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER, LIKE I TOLD JEEP BACK IN JUNE. THIS SAME THING IS HAPPENING ON MANY OTHER JEEPS. PLEASE SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THEY LOOKED AT THE "SPLASH SHEILD" UNDER THE RECALL AND SINCE NOTHING WAS WRONG THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING ELSE ON THE BOOSTER. PLEASE READ OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTPS://JEEPGARAGE.ORG/F73/MORE-BRAKE-BOOSTER-INTRIGUE-186178.HTML#/TOPICS/186178?PAGE=3. I TOOK THE MASTER CYLINDER OFF AND THERE IS A BUNCH OF RUST INSIDE THE BOOSTER. IT'S A CLOSED SYSTEM, DEBRIS SHOULDN'T BE BUILDING UP OR RUST SHOULDN'T BE GETTING IN THERE. MAYBE THIS WAS CAUSED FROM THE SPLASH SHIELD AND WATER GOT INSIDE?
