There is a loud squeal from inside the vehicle while braking, especially in colder conditions or when braking harder. It happens at slow or high speeds.

I have 24,000 miles and noticed grinding coming from my passenger rear wheel. I went to an auto repair shop. They informed me that the caliper is partially froze and needed a new one. It also ruined my brake and rotor on that side. They also recommended to not install one side but to make both match. Due to a faulty caliper I am out $500. The auto mechanic said he has oddly seen this on relatively new jeep wranglers too frequent. I went online and found out from jeep forums that this is happening often. I'm not too sure on how the recall process works... But I wouldn't mind trying to recover some/all of my costs due to faulty oem equipment.

My wife and I had just left a local business mid-day on a warm dry summer day. Was less than a block away and traveling slowly at approx 20 MPH. Applied brake as we rolled up to a stop sign. Engine started to increase RPM on its own requiring evermore increasing brake pedal pressure in an attempt to come to a stop. Standing on the brake pedal engine RPM reached 2500. I put the gear select into neutral. The brakes grabbed, the engine RPM shot up and returned to standard idle. I put the car in drive and car behaved normal after that. This has occurred approx 6 times over past year. Took it to dealer twice with no resolution. Floor mats secure and locked down. I drive right foot only and brake cleanly and square on the brake pedal. This only occurs at low speed, when engine is warm, and even squealed the tires ( burned rubber ) once. Must slam into neutral to get it to stop.

This is complaint related to safety recall notice n28/the federal safety agency 13v‑234 (transmission oil cooler tube). Last year I had received a safety recall notice n28/the federal safety agency 13v‑234 from chrysler. As instructed in recall notice I scheduled an appointment with dealer- magnussens dodge chrysler jeep, located at 1901 grass valley hwy, auburn, ca 95603, ph (530)885-2900. On 02/05/2014, I brought my vehicle in to get safety recall repairs done. Mr. Brian evans #1028, who is a service advisor with magnussen, stated they did not have a required part. I found this situation rather strange. Two weeks before my appointment I was reassured that part would be there. Since I was already there with my vehicle I brought to his attention unrelated to safety recall notice mechanical issue (possible squeaking belt noise). After inspection of my 2013 jeep with 10k on odometer, they told me that it needs a new water pump? They replaced, free of charge, a water pump (invoice 189828). They hold my jeep in their shop for two days. Communications with service advisor/department were horrible. I have to spend significant amount of time just to locate and contact their service manager in order to know when my vehicle will be ready for pick up. When I finally picked my jeep up on 02/07/2014 [xxx]. Told me again that required transmission oil cooler tube would be there soon. He promised this replacement part ??will be reserved for my vehicle?? And he will contact me as soon as he gets it??. Here we are in the beginning of month may?. I am still waiting to hear from magnussens dodge chrysler jeep. All my attempts to contact said service advisor went nowhere. Moreover, thanks to magnussens I am driving this unsafe jeep every day. As of today no part replacement mandated by chrysler recall was done. Now what? Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
