| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 jeep wrangler sahara with approximately 20 kmi. the hydraulic union fitting between the clutch master cylinder reservoir and the hose disassembled while driving on the highway. the failure caused a rapid loss of clutch hydraulic fluid, leaving the vehicle inoperable without any warning. the vehicle was serviced by the dealership that it was purchased from two days, and approximately 100 miles prior to the failure (the service was for the debris shield recall and a lube, oil and filter change). the dealership and the daimlerchrysler customer assistance center contend that the dealer is not at fault, and the repair is therefore covered under warranty. that means that they believe that root cause of the failure is due to either the design or manufacturing process. in either case, this would cause other jeep vehicles to experience a catastrophic loss of clutch hydraulic fluid while in operation. this is a serious safety issue. i have digital photos of the failed joint. please let me know if there is an email address where i can send them to you.*ak |
