| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Design flaw in degradation of the seals on the drum of the vehicle's anti-lock braking system.*mr this allowed more moisture into the drums, causing unpredictable locking of the vehicle's rear brakes. such locking could cause driver to lose control. consumer made many attempts to find a resolution with jeep and local dealerships and the customer service division, to no avail. the dealerships admitted the problem was endemic to the design and replacing the brakes wouldn't eliminate the problem- it would come back in time. they admitted it's an inherent feature, but stated they have no plans to attempt to rectify it. other than the brake problem, the consumer was pleased with the purchase. *ph *jb |
