THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED , IN PARTICULAR GOING DOWNHILL. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AT 10,000 MILES. RETURNED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE BRAKES WERE UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY FIXED THEM. NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.*AK
Service brakes, Hydraulic, Mar 28, 2002
IT IS OBVIOUS THIS PROBLEM WITH SEVERELY DEFECTIVE BRAKE ROTORS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. I FEEL THAT IF THE PROPER SAFETY ORGANIZATION WERE TO INVESTIGATE THIS THOROUGHLY BY TESTING BRAKING DISTANCE, BRAKE HANDLING,AND HOW ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IS AFFECTED IT WOULD BE FOUND TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD IN ALL THE VEHICLES INVOLVED. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOME ACCIDENTS COULD HAVE ALL READY BEEN AVOIDED IF THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. THIS IS A MUCH MORE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAN MAY BE REALIZED AS MY BROTHER-INLAW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, BUT HE JUST HAD THEM REPLACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS, AT HIS COST. I'M SURE JEEP IS NOT WRITING TO THE NHTSA EVERY TIME THEY REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE ROTORS, DO THEY?

ON VACATION TRAVELING THROUGH NEW MEXICO AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH ON IH40, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED A VIOLENT SHIMMY OR PULSATION IN THE FRONT END OCCURED WHICH WAS TRANSLATED TO THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE QUESTIONABLE. CHRYSLER ROAD ASSISTANCE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY RECOMMENDED HATCH MOTOR CO. IN SHOW LOW, ARIZONA WHICH WAS OUR DESTINATION. HATCH REMOVED AND TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY EITHER THE ORIGINAL WARANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARANTY. THE PROBLEM WAS IMPROVED BUT NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATED. ON THE RETURN TRIP TO CARROLLTON, TEXAS, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO WORSEN. UPON OUR RETURN HOME, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, HUFFINES, WHO TURNED THE ROTORS A SECOND TIME STATING THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND THAT ALL ROTORS NEEDED TURNING AT 30,000 MILES. AGAIN, THIS WORK WAS NOT COVERED BY EITHER OF THE WARANTYS. MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS A 1995 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY AND AFTER MORE THAN 90,000 MILES, THE ROTORS HAD NEVER BEEN TURNED AND THE BRAKES WERE PERFECT. SOMETHING IS BASICALLY WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL INSTALLATION, DESIGN OR QUALITY OF THESE ROTORS. THEY SHOULD NOT FAIL AT SUCH LOW MILAGE AND IN SUCH A DANGEROUS FASHION. PLEASE INSIST THAT CHRYSLER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. NLM

Service brakes, Hydraulic, Tires, Mar 24, 2002
SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT TIRE WHEEL BALANCE AND ROTOR SYSTEM ON THE FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER WE TOOK OWNERSHIP OF IN OCTOBER, 2000 WHEN THE TRUCK HAD 1743 MILES. BRAKES PULSATED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED. FIRST SET UP REPLACEMENT ROTORS FROM DEALERSHIP USING CHRYSLER PARTS JUNE 26, 2001. PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN DECEMBER, 2001 WHEN VEHICLE HAD 28,887 MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO RESURFACE ROTORS AS THEY WERE WARPED. REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE DEFECTIVE AND STILL UNDER WARRANTEE. TOOK VEHICLE TO A THIRD PARTY MECHANIC AND PAID TO HAVE INSTALLED AFTER MARKET ROTORS TO ADDRESS PULSATING BRAKES AND ISSUE THAT WHEN PULSATING BRAKES WERE APPLIED ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE PULLED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT. DEFECTIVE ROTORS - RECALL IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT FUTURE SERIOUS INJURY TO THOSE OPERATING VEHICLE WITH ORIGINAL ROTORS.*AK*JG
Service brakes, Hydraulic, Mar 20, 2002
THE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE NEED TO BE RESURFACED AT 20,000 MILES. DEALER WILL NOT DO SO UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH MANY JEEP OWERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES. MECHANICS ALL BUT ADMITTED IT WAS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RIP OFF TO CONSUMERS. THIS IS MY 2ND JEEP PURCHASE, BUT WILL BE MY LAST IF RESTITUTION IS NOT MADE. VEHICLE IS TOO NEW TO NEED THIS KIND OF MAJOR WORK DONE TO IT FOR IT'S MILEAGE.*AK
Service brakes, Hydraulic, Mar 18, 2002
I BOUGHT MY 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE NEW IN 2000, CURRENTLY HAVE 27,000 MILES ON IT AND ABOUT TO HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED FOR THE 4TH TIME. ROTORS WARP EVERY 5000 TO 6000 MILES TO A POINT WHERE THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE. THE DEALER CONTINUES TO DENY THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE JEEP AND THE ROTOR WARPING IS DUE TO STOP AND GO DRIVING, WHICH IS IDIOTIC.*AK

ROTORS ARE WARPING AT 15,000 MILE INTERVALS. DEALER SAYS THEY ARE HAVING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING WARPED BRAKE ROTORS BUT THEY SAY NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY CLAIM THE ROTORS ARE NOT MADE DURABLE ENOUGH (THICK ENOUGH) FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE ROTORS WARP THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IN MY OPINION IT WOULD APPEAR THE MFG IS USING DEFECTIVE ROTORS SINCE THE BRAKE PADS ARE OUTLASTING THE ROTORS. ROTORS SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED OR TURNED AT 15,000 MILE INTERVALS.TS. *AK

DEALER CONTACTED BECAUSE BRAKES PULSATING AND UNEVEN STOPPING. DEALER REPLACED ROTORS WERE WARPED.DEALER SAID ROTORS WERE WARPED DUE TO HEAT GENERATION . THIS IS BEEN GOING ON FROM THE TIME I HAD THIS CAR TILL TODAY WITHOUT RESOLUTION. CHRYSLER KNOWS ANOUT IT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN REPLACE THE ROTORS WITH THE SAME ROTORS AND THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY 3-4 MONTHS SINCE I OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS 4 TIMES KNOW AND MY CAR STILL HAS WARPED ROTORS AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHEN I BRAKE IN HUGH SPEEDS ABRUPTLY THE SHATTERING IS SO INTENSE THAT I MIGHT LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW TO WHOM TO TALK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CAR. WE ARE GOING TO CREATE THE WARPED ROTOR CLUB. IT IS SAD FOR CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE TO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ON A SAFETY MATTER LIKE THIS. I WOULD APPRECIATE AN ADVISE.*AK

LAST YEAR VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR A SHIMMY. WHEN TRAVELING OVER 50 MPH THE VEHICLE SHAKES VERY BADLY. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. SIX THOUSAND MILES LATE, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE JUST A LITTLE. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. EVERY 15 TO 20 MILES ROTOR NEED CHANGING. CONSUMER FEELS ITS VERY UNSAFE.*AK

AFTER RESEARCHING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE ON-LINE, A WEBSITE ENCOUAGED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE. MY VEHICLE SHAKES (STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE TRUCK) WHEN EVEN SLIGHTLY TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT SPEEDS OF GREATER THAN 40 MPH. BASED ON WHAT I HAVE LOCATED ON THE INTERNET, AND WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME, THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2000 JEEP. I FEEL AS IF I COULD EASILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE SHAKING. THE DEALERSHIP STATES CHRYSLER DOES NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY SHOULD FIND A WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AS MOST PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE ROTORS BURN OUT AGAIN AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES.*AK
