THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE WARPED 3 TIMES NOW ALMOST CAUSING THE CAR TO VEER OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES VERY BAD AND ITS HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. THE DEALER HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM TWICE AND NOW AGAIN AT 37,000 MILES THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN.. THIS DEFECT WILL EVENTUALLY GET SOMEONE INJURED OR WORSE IF CHRYSLER WON'T FIX IT THE RIGHT WAY. A FEW OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME REOCCURRING PROLEM WITH BAD BRAKE ROTORS.*AK

Service brakes, Hydraulic, Feb 28, 2002
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS HAVE WARPED ON THIS VEHICLE IN 2 YEARS. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES SO BAD ITS HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE BEFORE AT THE DEALER AND NOW AGAIN THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY 12 TO 14 THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THIS BEFORE IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. CHRSYLER TOLD ME TO BAD THAT THEY ARE NOT FIXING IT AGAIN. THERE IS POSITIVELY A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER MUST FIND THE FIX FOR IT AND RECALL ALL OF THESE CARS BEFORE MANY PEOPLE GET HURT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN HELPFUL BUT THET WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT ANYMORE AND TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER WHICH I DID TO NO AVAILE. THE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN TOLD ME THAT THE COMPANY KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT AND MAKE IT STAY FIXED. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT CHRYSLER. THEY SHOULD REPAIR THESE BRAKES ON EVERY CAR FOR AS LONG AS PEOPLE OWN THEM. THE PROBLEM IS THEIRS AND WE AS CONSUMERS ARE BEARING THE BRUNT OF IT. JEEPS ARE EXPENSIVE TO BUY AND THE BRAKES SHOULD LAST MORE THAN A FEW THOUSAND MILES.*AK

SHUTTERING AND POOR VEHICLE CONTROL AT 70 MPH SLOW DOWN TO FULL BRAKING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED, AND NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 38,000 MILES. I THINK THAT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON BRAKES FOR THIS VEHICLE, THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS SOME ATTENTION. *AK

AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 19 MONTHS, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE MAIN COMPUTER REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW FRONT BRAKE ROTORS 2 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS WE HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. NOW, THE SECOND TIME WE'RE REPLACING THE ROTORS AFTER ONLY 7 MONTHS. THE BRAKE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE SEVER "SHIMMYING" WHILE BRAKING, THIS LEADS TO LESS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DELAYED STOPPING. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES A HAZARD TO BOTH THE PASSENGERS OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND TO THOSE DRIVING AROUND IT. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND THE DEFECT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR HELP.*AK

AT APPROC 8000 MILES, PULATING OF BRAKES WAS NOTICED. WHEN COMING TO A GRADUAL STOP. AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 CAR VIBRATED WHEN BRAKING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I SPOKE TO THE HUFFINES SERVICE REP ON MAY 15, 2001 WHILE THE CAR WAS IN FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR , AT 15000 MILES, AFTER IT HAD LOST ALL POWER. (DISTRIBUTER PROBLEM). HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE ROTORS, THRU FAST COOLING, TENDED TO WARP WITH ALL THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT AND IT WAS TYPICAL OF MANY CARS (EVEN HIS FORD DID IT, HE SAID). AGAIN, IN JUNE , 2001, I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM , ELDORADO, TO HAVE A WHINING NOISE ,. THE WHINING NOISE TOGETHER WITH THE WORSENING VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING CONCERNED ME AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED. THEY FOUND NOTHING AND ASSURED ME THAT THE VIBRATON WAS TYPIUCAL AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, .HE SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE WAY IN WHICH I MANAGE THE BRAKES WHEN STOPPING. SINCE , THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN MY LANE STOPING AND IT IS VERY SCARY. I NOW HAVE 26,000 MILES AND AFTER RESEARCHING AND GOING TO A N INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, I DISCOVER THAT IT IS APPARENTLY A MANUFACTUERS PROBLEM WITH THE EQUIPMENT AND IN ORDER TO FIX, I MUST BUY NEW ROTORS AND PADS, PROBASBLY FOR FRONT AND BACK. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT TWO OTHER FRIENDS WHO HAVE A 1999'S HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEIRS REPLACED AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. ONE OF THEM IS ON THEIR THIRD SET, AS ARE MANY LISTED ON THE NT WEB SITE. BRAKES SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER AND WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED. WHILE THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THE PROBLEM I LEARNED FROM THE SALES CUSTOMER SEERVICE REP AT THE DEALER THERE IS NOT YET ANY RECALL AND ACCORDING TO THE REP IT IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM. SHE IN FACT HAD HER REPLACE AT 14,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME AND THREE TIMES SINCE.. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND IT WOULD SEEM FROM A LIABILITY PERSPECTIVE THE MANUFACTUER WOULD WANT TO FIX .*AK

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT SPEEDS OF 35-55 MPH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO VIBRATES TO A POINT WHERE I FEEL I WILL LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AT 8,000 MILES AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE LES VOGEL DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED ME $50.00 TO INSPECT THE BRAKE SYSTEM. AFTER THEIR INSPETION THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ROTORS WILL WARP WHEN THEY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. NOW AT 21,000 MILES THE VIBRATING HAS INCREASED EVEN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT LOWER SPEEDS. IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP IN TIME AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL WHEN BRAKES WAS APPLIED. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN AND THE ROTORS NEEDED RESURFACING. THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS HAD A WARRANTY FOR 12,000 MILES. I FEEL THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR WERE WORN DOWN PREMATURELY DUE TO DEFECT IN DESIGN OF BRAKE SYSTEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD REDESIGN THEIR ROTORS AND RECALL THE DEFECTIVE ONES.PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS IT COST ME $229.47 TO REPAIR.*AK

WARPED ROTORS AT 20K MILES - DEALER SAYS I HAVE POOR DRIVING HABITS AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE ROTORS ANY MORE. WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT! NEXT IS THE POWER STEERING GROAN MADE WHEN MAKING SLOW RIGHT HAND TURNS - DEALER REPLACED GEAR BOX ONCE. NOW THE NOISE IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY - DEALER CAN'T FIX BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE NOISE.
