When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
BENDIX ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. *ON SIX (6) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE BRAKES HAVE LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. I PRESS THE BRAKE AND IT DOESN'T MOVE (HARD BRAKE/NO BRAKES) IN THE FOLLOWING LIST THIS OCCURRENCE WILL BE STATED AS *ABS MALFUNCTION. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ONE ACCIDENT AND SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. MAY 2004: *ABS MALFUNCTION, BRAKE FLUID ADDED $89.00. OCT 2004: ACCIDENT AND RESULTING DAMAGE, BODY WORK $2704.00 DEC. 2004: *ABS MALFUNCTION (REPAIR FOLLOWING ACCIDENT), LOW FLUID DRB TEST ACCUMULATOR AND PRESSURE TESTS ALL PASS. NEW FRONT/BACK BRAKE PADS/SHOES, BRAKE FLUID. $476.34 FEB. 2005: *ABS MALFUNCTION, ABS PUMP SHORTED, REPLACE ABS PUMP, BRAKE FLUID, REPLACE BATTERY. $229.12 AUG. 2006: *ABS MALFUNCTION, REPLACE FAULTY ABS PUMP RELAY, LOW ACCUMULATOR VOLTAGE.$312.24 OCT. 2007: * ABS MALFUNCTION (WHILE GOING 70MPH ON A FREEWAY, LUCKILY NO RESULTING ACCIDENT) HIGH PRESSURE BRAKE LINE LEAKING HOSE -ABS HIGH PRESSURE, BRAKE FLUID ADDED. $528.83. JULY 2008: *ABS MALFUNCTION, ABS PUMP WOULD NOT TURN OFF, EVEN AFTER THE JEEP WAS TURNED OFF, THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED OF POWER AND I FINALLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. BRAKE FLUID OVERFLOWED (COST AND DIAGNOSTIC YET TO BE DETERMINED). ****EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS THERE IS A $90 TO $100 FEE JUST TO HAVE A DEALER LOOK AT IT. I'M FORTUNATE I HAVEN'T INJURED OR CAUSED THE DEATH OF ANYONE ELSE. I HAVE INJURED MYSELF DURING THE ACCIDENT IN 2004, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE SO I DIDN'T GO TO A HOSPITAL. THIS JEEP IS A LEMON, AND IF I COULD AFFORD ANOTHER CAR I WOULD. THE ONLY REPAIR COVERED BY THE RECALL WAS IN FEB. 2005 WHEN THE ACTUAL ABS PUMP WAS REPLACED FOR NO CHARGE. THERE ARE ALWAYS ADDITIONAL CHARGES THOUGH FOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
