Just sharing my experience. I bought a used 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Sport w/49500 miles 3/2023. The brakes were acting differently at different times. Pedal going down the past gas pedal sometimes, requiring pumping the brake pedal. Least expensive first - Bled brakes not fixed. Replaced master...

So I have a 2014 Sahara and some issues started almost a year ago. Every once in a while when I’d use my brakes or blinkers the seatbelt light would ding and my tail lights would flicker a couple time and then go out. Then my radio would stutter when using brakes or blinkers. Also had no...

Hey all, I was hoping someone could help me diagnose this issue. I had my brakes replaced a few days ago(pads, rotors, and calipers). The problem did not appear until a few days after. The issue: brake light, abs light, and traction control light started flashing today randomly on the drive to...

Last weekend I was bleeding the clutch slave cylinder on my 2015 Rubi because it was sometimes catching between lower gears where it did not used to do. Also, the pedal felt a little squishy. When I opened the bleeder (90 degrees, to a stop) and applied pressure bleeder at 10psi, nothing cam...

my manual 07 Jeep jk has a problem where the brakes lock up only in certain conditions. If the road is slick (wet, snow, or sand), and the Jeep is in 4 wheel drive, upon abrupt braking the pedal goes to the floor and locks along with the brakes. The brakes do not release until the car almost...

Hi folks. Have a 2018 Wrangler Willys Wheeler JKU that I pull a 3500 pound travel trailer with electric brakes and do some mountain roads. Do I need to upgrade my Jeep brakes? Mostly worried about fade, and I have a 6 speed manual so I can creep down grades. I’m an engineer that scouts mines so...

I’ve had a spongy on and off brake pedal for about 3 years now. I’ve taken it to 5 mechanics and no one can figure out what is wrong with it. It comes and goes so mechanics couldn’t figure out what it was because the peaks pedal would be firm when they’d look at it. most recently, I took it to...

The title says it all. Is it bad to brake-boost your wrangler JL for added acceleration when initially taking off? What happens to the torque converter when doing this? Can it warp your brakes? Does it cause transmission/axle wear prematurely? And lastly, is it responsible?

What are the differences in brake system between EU (export) and US (North America?) models of JK/JKU? It was brought to my attention in this thread/post that the old continent gets better brakes by default. Just wondering how big of a difference this is, as it might affect my (possible)...

My 1997 TJ is pulling hard left on braking when I start driving. After that happens the ABS light comes on and all the pulling issues go away. It feels like only the left calipers are grabbing and i’m getting no brakes out of the front right side. The mechanic cannot find any issues with the...

Recently I had to replace my brake light switch due to the old one being just old and not working. When I plugged in my new switch the brake lights were working and recently they stopped. When I press on the brake pedal the brake lights will flash but won’t stay on. I’ve gone under and tightened...

Hello All, I have a 2011 JK with about 130K miles. Just bought it a couple months ago. My wife hit a big pothole the other day and said the brakes immediately went soft. Like, to the floor soft. I looked that up on the internet and saw several people say to do some hard braking in gravel...

Got in a accident...My reaction was brake and gas at same time...Tapped someone with my front bumper...Checked brake lines for air soon after....Normal or should brake pedal not go down that far? I always thought my brakes were working normal...
