#540195August 21, 1998
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE MOVED SINCE PURCHASING MY JEEP. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BREAKS DID NOT WORK. I CRASHED TO A STOP BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED. I ONLY BUMPED MY HEAD. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO CREST AUTO WORLD IN N. CONWAY, NH. THEY SAID THAT THE FRONT BREAK ROTORS SEPERATED FROM THE CENTER HUB. HE GAVE ME A COPY OF A RECALL NOTICE SHOWING THAT THE YEAR 90-91 & 93 FOR MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED CRYSLER, THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME WITH THIS. IF THEY FOUND THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THOSE YEARS, WHY DID THEY SKIP 92?? SINCE THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM, I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE WARNED SO THAT NOBODY DIES BECAUSE OF THIS.
