The one problem I have had is with the ABS not being able to stop. It happened early december 2001. It was replaced free of charge as it is under lifetime warranty. Thinking all is ok I drive my car and on march 30, 2002 my brakes again failed. Had it fixed up from the dealer and drove it about a mile only to have no brakes again. This is the 3rd time the part has been replaced. I believe it is a safety issue. ****dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****7650836. *ak
1991 Jeep Cherokee brakes complaints
Page 3 of 7: complaints 41 to 70 of 163, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Both u-joints in the front axle were replaced.
Abs braking system doesn't work at all. Abs light comes on, and the system is defective. Dealership is aware of problem.
When the jeep hits a hard bump the right rear bump stop will contact the brake fluid line on the passenger side. I had the jeep loaded and when I got home I looked under the jeep and I feel if the jouce bumper its the brake line hard enough it will cut off fluid to the brake on that side. That would cause partial loss of brakes and could kill me.
Consumer was getting off the interstate and lost majority of braking power. Took vehicle to a local garage. Garage was not able to fixed vehicle because chrysler star program only allowed jeep representative to purchase the parts. Vehicle has been to 3 different dealers within 3 months. Currently, at a jeep dealer. Vehicle cannot be fixed because problem is to advanced for dealer to fix.
As I came to a stop on 5/31/2001 ABS pump got very lound and then all the brakes faild. I see fluid coming from master cylender and from ABS pump. I almost had a wreck.
While traveling ABS indication light was flashing, and depressing the brakes pedal become hard. Please provide further information.
Consumer states ABS instrument panel light was on all the time and the power brakes were not working but that the base manual brakes seemed to be working slightly, the brakes were inspected by mechanic and consumer was advised that the anitlock brake system hydraulic control unit had experienced excessive brake actuator piston seal wear and that caused the actuator pump motor to deteriorate, mechanic informed consumer there was a recall for brakes and to take vehicle to delaership, consumer contacted dealership and they advised him that the work had been performed already and they were not going to do anything else, mechanic also called dealership and tried to explain but was told that recall did not apply to brake system.
"check anti-lock" light comes on, brakes get stiff and vibrate when pressed, and brakes become almost impossible to press. Diagnostic test declared that the master cylinder/power booster assembly needs replaced.
Consumer put vehicle in reverse and there were no brakes. Consumer was on a flat surface & gradually came to a stop. Dealer went to expense to inspect it, and repair shop said that dealer would have to hook it up to a computer.

I received a recall #747- front brake rotors and the dealer did not want to honor it . I had to pay for the job and parts.
Selftest of the bcu seems to work fine, but the bcu doesn4t detect it works bad (in the final phase of the braking action, when almost stopped, the pressure on the system is completly released!!!, and no braking effect!!. This problem is eliminated by removing the fuse of the ABS, but the bcu still doing the auto test ok!!
