| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 7/13/2005, my wife returned from work concerned that the brakes on her '99 jeep grand cherokee were not working properly. she said that they were not stopping the vehicle, and that the brake pedal had more travel than normal. she also said that there was a leak from the car onto the driveway. upon investigation, i determined that there was a hole in the rear brake line at a point where it was mounted onto the frame by a plastic clip. there was corrosion in the immediate vicinity of the clip, and the brake fluid was escaping through a hole in the corroded area. i have scheduled the vehicle for repair or replacement of the defective brake line. i notified the daimlerchrysler customer service department via email, and was informed that they would not repair nor replace the defective part without charge. the daimlerchrysler complaint reference number is 13791846. |
