LESS THAN 30 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA, I WAS DRIVING IT AND WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN SLIGHTLY BUT NOT AS MUCH AS IT NORMAL
... LY DID, IT PULLED TO THE LEFT, AND WOBBLED WHENEVER I PRESSED THE BRAKES CAUSING ME TO MOMENTARILY LOOSE CONTROL AS A RESULT OF IT FISH TAILING. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS IT NORMALLY TOOK TO DO SO. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO AN AUTO MECHANIC. I TOOK IT TO POPE DAVIS TIRE & AUTOMOTIVE LOCATED AT 631 S ASSEMBLY STREET IN COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE I WAS TOLD MY THE MANAGER, [XXX] THAT THE FLUID WENT BAD AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO ALL 2 HYDRAULIC HOSES, FRONT BRAKES, CALIPERS, AND ROTORS, AND THAT THEY ALONG WITH MY PADS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME APPROXIMATELY $880. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT THERE WAS AN RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. HOWEVER, MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER DID NOT HAVE THIS RECALL. I FEEL THAT IT WAS OVERLOOKED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *BF CONSUMER STATED THE LEAKAGE COULD OF BEEN DUE TO RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT INNER FENDER LINERS CAUSED BY WEAR OF TUBES. *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TRRead more

MY WIFE CALLED ME FROM WORK SAYING HER JEEP WAS SMOKING AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE. I RUSHED TO HER JOB AND FOUND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE JEEP. WHAT I FOUND WAS DEBRIS WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE EXHAUST PIPE IN THE CENTER OF THE JEEP. PINESTRAW BEEN COLLECTING THERE AND WAS SMOLDERING. I
... THOUGHT THAT WAS A FLUKE BUT MUCH TO MY SURPRISE MY WIFE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE 2 DAYS AGO AND THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND I REMOVED ABOUT 10 HANDFULS OF PINESTRAW THAT WAS SMOLDERING. WE DO NOT PARK THE CAR IN THE GARAGE ANYMORE FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. WHAT MAKES NO SENSE IS THE DEBRIS NOT COLLECTING BEHIND THE TIRES BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR. IT IS MY OPINION THAT JEEP SHOULD FOLLOW UP WITH A RECALL OR AT LEAST TELL ME HOW TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.Read more
