STEERING COLUMN HAD VIBRATION THAT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. TOOK VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP THAT EXAMINED VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND HAD TO BE RESURFACED. ALSO, PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK *JB
Service brakes, Hydraulic, May 11, 2001
I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO NEGOTIATE A CURVE. THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I WENT OFF OF THE ROAD MOMENTARILY AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. UPON MECHANICAL INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED RE-SURFACING. THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS ELIMINATED. THE CERTIFIED JEEP MECHANIC WHO FIZED MY VEHICLE STATED THAT HE HAS NOTICED AN UNUSUALL AMOUNT OF JEEP VEHICLES THAT NEED THEIR ROTORS RE-SURFACED WHEN HAVING LOW MILEAGE. I SEE THAT AS A DEFECT SINCE I HAVE OWNED MANY NEW CARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE SEEN WHERE ROTORS HAVE TO BE RE-SSURFACED SO SOON. MY JEEP IS OWNED BY MY WIFE AND IT IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN WITHIN IN NORMAL LIMITS. EVEN MY POLICE CAR THAT I DRIVE AT WORK (WHICH IS DRIVEN HARD) DOES NOT NEED IT'S ROTORS RE-SURFACED YET. I HAVE ALSO RE-SEARCHED AND FOUND THAT OTHER JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ROTORS. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IN ALL MY DRIVING, I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A TENSE MOMENT WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE TO NEGOTITATE THAT CURVE. I WAS DOIND 65 MPH, HOWEVER I HAD BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN FOR THE CURVE AND I COULD NOT DUE TO, IN MY OPINION, DEFECTIVE ROTORS. THANK YOU.*AK

SEVRE BRAKE SHUDDER WHEN SLOWING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKES PULSATE WHEN APPLIED ON IN TOWN DRIVING. WE OWN 2, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BOTH VEHICLES. PARTS WERE BACKORDERED WHICH INDICATES THE DEMAND IS GREATER THAN THE SUPPLY. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT ARE FAILING TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF CONSUMERS. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF WE COULD GET THEM WARRANTIED. ONE THEY DID THE OTHER THEY DENIED. THIS IS OUR 3RD JEEP PURCHASE. WE REALLY DO LIKE THE VEHICLES BUT IF WE CAN'T GET SOME SATISFACTION IT MAY VERY WELL BE THE LAST ONES WE BUY.*AK

Service brakes, Hydraulic, Apr 15, 2001, crash
REAR DISC BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE WERE DEFECTIVE FROM DATE OF PURCHASE WHICH IS WHY I HAD THE ACCIDENT DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS SECTION. WHEN I ASKED MY DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE BRAKES NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT NOTHING WAS DONE BY MY DEALERSHIP. THEY FINALLY INSTALLED NEW REAR DISC BREAKS ON 3/26/2001 WHEN I COMPLAINED ONE MORE TIME THAT THERE WAS VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE CAR WHILE BRAKING. FROM THE TIME FRAME GIVEN IT LOOKS LIKE MY DEALERSHIP WAS TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR NEW REAR BRAKES AFTER THE WARRANTY ON THEM EXPIRED BUT I HELD MY GROUND AND GOT IT FIXED FOR FREE. IF THE BRAKES WERE IN NORMAL CONDITION, I WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE ACCIDENT THAT I WAS IN AND WOULDN'T HAVE HAD $5000 OF DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE MY POINT.

Power train, Apr 12, 2001
THE QUADRA DRIVE SYSTEM INCLUDES THE DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSMISSION, AND GEROTOR COUPLINGS AND PUMPS. WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING FROM ONE GEAR TO THE NEXT IT HESITATES IN NEUTRAL LONG ENOUGH FOR ALL THE POWER TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE FRONT WHEELS. WHEN THE TRANSIMSSION DOES ENGAGE THE NEXT GEAR ALL OF THE POWER IS TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE REAR WHEELS RESULTING IN A LOUD THUD. I DO NOT KNOW HOW THE VEHICLE WOULD RESPOND WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT OPTIMAL. THE MANUFACTURE RESPONSE HAS BEEN THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

SEVERE VIBRATION WAS EXPERIENCED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH. AT LESS THAN 7,000 MILES THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS "BRAKE RUN OUT" BY THE DEALER. IT APPEARS AS IF THE BRAKING SYSTEMS ARE DEFECTIVE ON THE 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE (THIS IS NOT A GRAND CHEROKEE MODEL). I BELIEVE THE USE OF COMPOSITE BRAKE ROTORS IS CAUSING THE ROTORS TO WARP UNDER NORMAL USE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY DAIMLER-CHRYSLER CORPORATION.*AK
