The brake motor makes a noise, the pedal is hard. When I took it to the dealership because there is a lifetime warranty on replacing the brake actuator piston assemblyand the pump motor, I was told it was not these parts but the accumulator which needed replaced. The car is unsafe to drive and will go out at any given time. I feel since the dealership " mcloughlin chrysler jeep" service writers are on "ommission" and not hourly wages, that they are telling me I have to spend over $600 to replace a part that should be covered on this safety recall. The dealership is trying to make money off me instead of fixing the part that is out on my car.
