THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WARPE ABOUT EVERY 10,000 MILES. I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE THEM FOR THE THIRD TIME AT 42000 MILES! AT 31000 MILES, THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER INSTALLED A "FIT" KIT" WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT WORKED. THE BRAKE PROBLEM IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A STEEP ROAD IN THE SIERRA/NEVADA MOUNTAINS AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE SHAKING AND STEERING WHEEL JERKING DURING BREAKING. I HAD TO GEAR DOWN AND TRAVEL VERY SLOWLY UNTIL I REACHED LEVEL GROUND. AFTER INTENSE QUESTIONING, THE DEALER (JOE KERLEY: SAN JOSE CA) ACKNOWLEDGED THE FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM. SO HAS CHRYSLER VIA THE "REPAIR KIT". A CALL TO CHRYSLER INDICATED THAT THEY WONT ACT BECAUSE ROTERS ARE AN WEAR ITEM. I BELLIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HURT OR KILL SOMEONE. PLEASE GET ON THE BALL AND INVESTIGATE AND ORDER A RECALL. *AK

WHILE I AM GENERALLY VERY SATISFIED WITH MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A CHRONIC PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED. IN 2000, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS VERY NEW, I NOTICED VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. MY JEEP WAS REPAIRED FOR WARPED ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS CUT. THEN, IN 03/02, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THEN AGAIN IN 03/03, THE SAME PROBLEM! THIS TIME, THE FOLKS AT RAMSEY JEEP TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE INSTALLING A "KIT" THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR GOOD. AT THIS TIME, I WAS VERY HAPPY TO KNOW THAT JEEP REALIZED THE PROBLEM AND THOUGHT MY TROUBLES WERE OVER. NOW IN 04/04, I AM SORRY TO REPORT THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND I DON'T NEED THE TECHNICIANS AT JEEP TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE ROTORS WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN $60000 MILES. *AK

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP WITH RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH WHAT I AM TOLD ARE THE BRAKE ROTORS. THEY APPARENTLY KEEP WARPING, CAUSING MODERATE TO SEVERE SHIMMYING WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND PULSATING WHEN BRAKING AT LOWER SPEEDS. AT 10,531 MILES I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. THEY RESURFACED THE ROTARS WHICH THEY CLAIM THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN AT 26,579 MILES I WAS BACK AT THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE MANUFACTURER HAD A DIFFERENT SOLUTION. THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS, BRAKES AND CALIPERS. I WAS SKEPTICAL THAT THEY WERE REPLACING A DEFECTIVE PART WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. I TOLD THEM I HAD A 1995 GRAND CHEREKEE THAT HAD OVER 100 THOUSAND MILES AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH ROTARS SO WHY DIDN'T THE MANUFACTURER JUST USE THE 1995 PART BUT, AGAIN, I WAS ASSURED THE NEW ROTARS WERE DIFFERENT AND DEFECT FREE. NOW I HAVE 49,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT IS AGAIN AT THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTERER SAY THEY WILL NOT MAKE ANY FURTHER REPAIRS.THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I HAD THREE OPTIONS. ONE,THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ROTARS FOR $240.00. TWO,DO NOTHING BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER ASSURES ME THAT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EFFECT SAFETY OR MAINTENANCE FOR ANY OTHER PARTS ON THE VEHICLE.(WHICH BY THE WAY I FIND TO BE A LUDICROUS STATEMENT AND A CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR OWN CONSUMERS LET ALONE OTHERS ON THE ROAD SINCE THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL WHEN THE FRONT END IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY) AND THIRD, I COULD BUY THE PART FROM A NON-DEALER AT AFTER MARKET PRICES AND GET ROTARS MADE OF A DIFFERENT AND PRESUMABLY STRONGER MATERIAL. NONE OF THESE OPTIONS WERE APPEALING SINCE EXPERIENCE WITH TWO JEEPS PRIOR TO THIS ONE DICTATED THAT THIS WAS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DRIVING, AND WAS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART. *AK

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES FIXED ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3 TIMES. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND VIBRATES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT ANY SPEED. IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE A REAL CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY. I WENT TO GET THEM FIXED FOR THE FOURTH TIME, WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON THE CAR, AND I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY FOR IT, SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED 3 MONTHS PRIOR. THIS PROBLEM REALLY SHOULD BE RECALLED. AND CHRYSLER IS NOT VERY NICE ABOUT ANY SITUATION LIKE THIS. THEY DON'T CARE HOW INCONVENIENCED YOU ARE. THEY NEVER OFFER YOU A CAR, WHILE YOURS IS SUPPOSE TO BE "BEING FIXED." I ONLY WISH IT WAS FIXED. NO MORE JEEPS FOR ME. IT'S A LEMON!! *JB
