For the second time a brake line has broken causing brake failure while driving. I called jeep and was told there has been no recall and the dealership's service department takes no responsibility. My daughter was driving around a circle at a major highway intersection when the brakes failed. I guess a certain number of people must die before a recall is made. Have had an electrical issue with blinkers since I owned the car. When turning off blinker when changing lanes, the opposite blinker comes on. Trying to turn that side off, then makes the other side come back on. It takes going back and forth for a few times before it will just turn off.

Bought the car used. Had plenty of oil and based on the date and miles from the previous oil change had about 600 miles left before needed an oil change. No light came on no gage informed us that I was low on oil and my engine seized, I replaced the engine $6000.00 later and now the brake hose started shooting oil all over my rear tires while driving on a state highway and nearly crashed having absolutely no brakes. Please tell me who is responsible for this death trap. If it is me than I am going to all local news stations to make sure everyone knows how dangerous these jeeps are

While driving down a 7% grade hill, the brake pedal went to the floor, warning lights on the dash lit up and the engine raced. Followed by ineffective brake modulation, more lights, increased speed, and panic of wife (driver), children in car seats 2), and dogs (3). Wife was able to use emergency brake to slow far enough to shift automatic transmission to 2nd, followed by 1st, pull off to the side of the road and jam it into park. She drove to the bottom of the hill and into a parking area in 4wd low. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where they found nothing concrete to blame. They speculated that a corroded battery cable caused a voltage spike(s) which the computer interpreted as the vehicle being in a skid and the computer took away all driver control of braking. Luckily, they all survived.
