So I jump in my jeep last night to go to work, pull out of garage and park it to pull my truck into the garage. As I get out I notice the red "brake" light on the dash. I get back in and put my jeep in gear and the brake pedal goes straight to the floor, I was able to "pump" the pedal to where I felt pressure. The red dash light goes off. So I decide to at least try to take it down the street. I try to make my first stop and the brake pedal goes straight to the floor. And the jeep is super slow to stop. So I limp it home and now I'm wondering WTF happened? I'm not low on brake fluid, I dont see and severed lines(I didn't crawl under the jeep yet though). So any brake experts out there have any suggestions?

 

Do you have ABS?

 

shot master cylinder if there are no leaks

 

he can't have ABS.

 

No ABS...

 

I thought Cherokees could come with an ABS system from the factory?

Reason I asked is because I've seen many people with XJ's that said their stock anti-lock brake system sucked because of its many issues.

 

it says in his info that he has a chrysler 8.25 rear axle. No ABS.

 

Ah, didn't look at his info. My bad

I also didn't know 8.25's didn't have ABS.. Learn something new everyday, right? lol

 

Yep.

 

I would guess that it's a brake line over anything. If you're brake fluid is good and you're sure the pads aren't low, there must be a cable that went.

 

turn it on pump the brakes, look for leaks, if you dont find any flush the whole system and see whats good

 

brake master is what it sounds like to me. usually you will hear a rush of air at your feet but not always

 

lol, that's a vacuum leak of the booster...

 

Ill have to check out those few you guys mentioned. By the way, the jeep got all new rotors and pads up front, new shoes in rear only 2 months ago..
