Rear brakes locked on at least 25 occasions. Usually happens in first few minutes of driving, and when wet. Brakes were repaired by Dodge/Jeep dealer 2 months ago still locked. Checked by certified mechanic last week, could find nothing wrong. Yesterday morning at about 9:00 a.M. during steady rain, applied brakes at 55 miles per hour to slow vehicle for car in front that had applied brakes. Brakes locked and vehicle fish tailed to right, spun at least twice, tipped over and hit guard rail at least twice. I was extracted from vehicle with only minor cut to hand and glass in nostril. Vehicle is totaled. Earlier last year our 25 year old daughter applied brakes to slow down and similar incident happened, where she came to rest in a ditch. This has been a continuous problem. Subsequent to accident yesterday, I talked with two other owners of same type vehicle who experience same problem on a regular basis. Rear brakes lock, especially first thing in morning and when they are wet. Certified automobile mechanic suggested a component that controls hydraulic fluid to all brakes equally could be the problem. Would appreciate statistics on this problem if available, especially occurances where accidents resulted.

The water pump went out on way out of town. White smoke poured out from behind the Jeep. We immediately pulled over and used our phone to call for help. We were told from a mechanic that it sounded as if the water pump went out. We waited for the Jeep to cool off, then added water to the radiator. We were able to drive at 35 mph until we found a service station to pull over at. At that time the technician told us that it was indeed the water pump and there was no more that could be done that day (Saturday-5:00P.M.). we got our vehicle towed back home to lafayette, la. The next morning and at that time the towing/service technician also said it looked as if the engine head gasket was blown. Is that common for this vehicle with this milage" also, the brakes went out and we had them fixed a month ago at lafayette motors Inc. Could they have known about the water pump or is that impossible? also, was there supposed to be any warning as a check engine light" we got no warning, but the smoke pouring out.( dot number: )
