1993 Jeep Wrangler brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle was parked on a hill in reverse, engine was off. Shifted lever and it popped into neutral, rolling backwards into another vehicle. *ak consumer stated that the vehicle was parked with emergency brake engaged and transmission was in reverse. The emergency brake disengaged and transmission came out of reverse into neutral during the accident.
They are saying that my particular jeep is not within the recall, but my jeep is in the shop as we speak because of this brake failure.
Parking brake has failed repeatedly leading to a rolling accident in 12/2001. No other roll-a-ways lead to accidents, but did on several occasion lead to minor damage. Local dealer and factory representatives had nothing to save regarding repairs or liability. I personally know several other wrangler owners with the same problem and have asked the to report to the federal safety agency directly. Please keep me posted on developments. Thanks norm
While coming to a stop the rotor separated from the hub. Loss of braking ability was experienced.
Exact same brakes recalled on cherokee nhts campaign id 99v340000.
When the defrost steams the windows there is a significant amount of water/moisture that enters the passenger compartment. Creates a visibility hazard, fogs all windows. Water also drains onto floorboards. Parking brake disengaging is very intermittent. Never can tell if it will hold. Relying solely on reverse gear for holding vehicle. Have ran out of gas twice with fuel gauge problem. Goes all the way up when filled, but will not go below 1/4 of a tank. Consistent problem. Shifting into first often requires first shifting into fifth then back to 1st in order to engage. Oh, forgot to mention, passenger side door will not unlock, intermittent also.
Applied the brakes at any speed and the rear drums did not work. At times when putting the vehicle in 4-wheel drive the rear brakes work, in 2-wheel drive the rear brakes do not work. Please describe details.
Fuel sending unit failed, causing fuel pump to burn out prior to recall (94v106).
Abs brakes failed to stop vehicle when applied, causing extended stopping distance, resulting in rear end collision at 25 MPH. Tt
