   I have had a brake problem since September 2025. The symptom is a hard brake pedal that does not stop the vehicle at low speeds.

I have had it back to the dealer (Hoover CDJR in Summerville, SC) at least 3 times. At the last visit, they said that they acknowledge there is an issue but Stellantis does not know root…

   I have a 2021 jeep wrangler and the brake hose went on the driver front side. Mopar product ID is 68307451AH. I have called numerous dealerships and Mopar themselves. They informed me this hose is on backorder for over 841 jeeps, and they are unable to get this across the US. Knowing how many jeeps are needing this hose, is it possible to get a recall on it due to the fact it is imperative to fix right away? I've been trying to find a replacement or an alternate but no luck.…
