NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Chrysler Group is recalling about 24,000 late-model Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles to fix a defective part that could cause sudden, unexpected brake failure.

The recall applies to some 2010 model year Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger sedans, Dodge Nitro and Jeep Liberty, Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs and 2009 and 2010 model year Ram trucks.

Odumbo’s fault

Whoops!

As I was always told at the Chrysler dealer when I wanted my cars fixed... “They all do that”. That’s why I buy nothing but Jap cars.

Real shocker there.

Pretty good excuse to run over a liberal or 2.

Not suggesting, just sayin’...

Guess Chrysler will need a few more billion to fix the problem. I'm sure Obama and his henchmen will oblige.

[crosshairs]

That is one fortunate treehugger.

Government Motors required mileage increases forced a reduction in weight, so Chrysler discontinued the heavy brake system.

New procedure is: open door, drag foot.

Obama's car company kills people!

[Boiler Plate]

Since the egines normally don’t work, the brakes are designed to match the drive train performance. So it looks like it is working perfectly!

That’s nice. Knowing that if I’m traveling down the highway at 70 mph I press on the pedal and fly off into a canyon somewhere. Another reason this company needs a stake through its heart. Now they have stolen from the taxpayers and now they can kill us. Ain’t Amerika great?

I,ve had Chryslers and Dodges my whole life-’69 Charger RT, ‘73 Charger SE, ‘81 Colt-I know Mitsubishi- ‘86 Fifth Ave,etc all the way to my ‘08 Charger and they have all been great cars. The WORST car I ever had was buying into the hype in ‘95 and buying a Honda Accord. Biggest POS ever!In the shop monthly for clutches and CV joint issues.At least they reported the problem before anyone got hurt.
