The Chrysler recall involves more than 156,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Commander SUVs from the 2006-2007 model years, more than 90,000 2007 Jeep Wrangler SUVs and nearly 50,000 2007 Dodge Nitro SUVs.

Chrysler spokesman Max Gates said the automaker had received about 20 complaints of vehicles experiencing a delay in braking when drivers tried to come to a stop after coasting uphill. To fix the problem, the computer connected to the antilock brake system will be reprogrammed.

There has been one crash tied to the issue and no injuries reported, Gates said. Owners will be notified by mail beginning later this month.

Well it might affect the New KK Liberty...

The Honda recall is worse...a little moisture in the antilock system and a wheel can FALL OFF!!!

I bleed off speed all the time leaving it in gear, I would call that "coasting."

Not trying to nitpick or anything though and not trying to come up with situation when it happens, thats why I just asked, "mountains?"

It probably wont cost DC much if any money.

its just a delay in braking and who ever did wreck could of blamed it on that.

All they do is reprogram it. no bigge.

Yet another Jeep recall (not KJs though)
