WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE FRONT BRAKES LOCK UP, BUT THE REAR WHEELS CONTINUE TO TURN, WHICH IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS DURING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. DEALER HAS TRIED TO CORRECT PROBLEM BY REPLACING DRUMS AND VALVE, BUT THAT DID NOT CURE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOW ORDERED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. WE ARE HOPING THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER CURES THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE CONCERNED THAT OTHER PEOPLE MAY NOT REALIZE THAT THERE REAR BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

THE REAR BRAKES DON'T PROVIDE ANY STOPPING ASSISTANCE,THE FRONT BRAKES LOCK UP ON GRAVEL AND THE REAR WHEELS NEVER SLIDE OR PROVIDE ANY STOPPING POWER. WHEN YOU BACK UP ON GRAVEL OR ANY SLICK SURFACE THE FRONT WHEELS ALWAYS SLIDE EVEN ON LEVEL GROUND. WHEN BACKING DOWN A HILL ON GRAVEL OR A SLICK SURFACE THE JEEP WONT STOP UNLESS I USE THE HAND BRAKE ALONG WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE TESTED THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IT IS THE SAME EACH TIME. THE DEALER JUST SAYS THEY ARE ADJUSTED TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THE REAR BRAKES PROVIDE LITTLE OR NO STOPPING POWER!
