VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO DEALER THREE TIMES ALREADY FOR ROTORS, AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS, VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK CONSUMER STATES NOISE FROM RIGHT FRONT OF CONSOLE. THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT COOL ENOUGH DUE TO LEAKAGE. *YH

MY COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH DAIMLER-CHRYSLER, THEIR FILE REFERENCE IS 9879536.THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT ABOUT 14,000 MILES DUE TO WARPAGE. THE SAME CONDITION HAS RECURRED NOW AT 30,120 MILES (I.E., THE NEW ROTORS HAVE ABOUT 16,000 MILES ON THEM. THE DEALER SAYS THAT JEEP USES A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT FROM THEIR SUPPLIER. WHILE THE WARRANTY IS 12,000 MILES, THE ROTORS MEET THAT MINIMUM. HOWEVER, OTHER MANUFACTURERS APPLY A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEIR BRAKE SYSTEMS WITH THEIR ROTORS NOT WARPING AT ALL, EVEN BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, MY BROTHERS FORD F150 HAS OVER 70,000 ON THE ORIGINAL BRAKES & PADS, WITH ABOUT 1/4 " PAD REMAINING...AND NO WARPAGE, NOR "SKEWING" ON THE ROTORS. IT IS MY FEELING THAT JEEP HAS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE ROAD. FURTHERMORE, SINCE THE OTHER 19 NHTSA REPORTS THAT I'VE READ HAVE NO ACCIDENTS OR PROPERTY LOSSES, THERE HAS BEEN NO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TAKEN ON JEEP. NEVERTHELESS, IF JEEP WANTS TO CUT COSTS, DON'T DO IT WITH A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM LIKE THE BRAKES. THEIR ROTORS JUST BARELY LAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD. BUT JUST WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A DEATH DUE TO THE FAILED BRAKES. I'M MOST DISAPPOINTED IN DAIMLER AND CHRYSLER.*AK

THIS JEEP HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I QUESTIONED THE DEALER ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AS THEY AROSE. I WAS MADE TO FEEL THAT "ALL THESE THINGS" ARE PERFECTLY NATURAL. THIS JEEP CANNOT EVEN BACK UP MY DRIVEWAY WITHOUT SQUEALING, TIRES AND SMOKING THE TIRES, NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY I TRY TO GO UP IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE JEEP CHRYSLER TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK. I CANNOT PUT INTO 2000 CHARACTERS ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE AN 11 YEAR OLD CHILD AND THOUGHT I WAS BUYING RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RELIABLILITY AND THE HANDLING OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IT ON A TRIP FOR FEAR IT WILL QUIT ON ME AGAIN AND STRAND ME IN AN UNSAFE PLACE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A NEW VEHICLE LIKE THIS BEFORE THAT PUT THE FEAR OF THE DEVIL IN ME LIKE THIS JEEP DOES. WE LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE STRANDED OR PUT ON HOLD WITH CHRYSLER EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR 29 MINUTES. IT TOOK ME 3 1/2 HOURS TO WARM UP. I HAD SEVERE FROSTBITE DUE TO THE MECHANICAL FAILURE I HAD TO ENDURE. *AK

WITH 9,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THERE WOULD BE A VIBRATION DURING APPLICATION OF BRAKES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. DEALERSHIP TURNED ROTORS AT 12,000 MILES WHICH TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. WITH 26,000 MILES ON VEHICLE, VIBRATION HAS STARTED TO REOCCUR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ACTIVATED. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT BRAKE ROTORS/PADFS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WARPING.

THE ROTORS ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAVE WARPED WHILE DRIVING UNDER LIGHT CONDITIONS (NO TOWING). I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 98 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DURING NOVEMBER OF 2001, I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF MY VEHICLE WHILE STOPPING ON THE 405 FREEWAY IN LOS ANGLES. THE SHUTTERING AFFECTED MY BRAKING DISTANCE AND I NEARLY AVOIDED REAR-ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ROTORS HAVE WARPED SO SEVERLY THAT IT HAS IMPARED THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND IS A HAZARD. THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH JEEP ROTORS (NHTSA HAS 120 ROTOR COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE...THE 2001 IS APPARENTLY FOLLOWING SUIT WITH THE FAULTY WORKMANSHIP) AND IT IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS FOR DAIMLER-CHRYSLER TO KEEP INSTALLING THE DEFECTIVE ROTORS ON OUR VEHICLES. I AM CURRENTLY FIGHTING THE DEALER TO REPLACE MY ROTORS AND HAVE SUGGESTED THEY DO SO WITH AN AFTERMARKET BRAND. THE DEALERS FEEL THEIR HANDS ARE TIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A WARPED ROTOR CRACKS AND SENDS A VEHICLE INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT.*AK

DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, AND WHEN BRAKE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED, A SEVERE VIBRATION STARTS TO OCCUR. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE FOUR TIMES, AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY REMEDY THE PROBLEM. CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP IS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AND WHEEL BEARINGS. *AK THE VEHICLE PULLS RIGHT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO HUB AND BEARING FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING, THE REAR END MAKES NOISE DUE TO BEARING AND PINION WORN OUT. GREASE LEAKING AROUND BOTH FRONT WHEELS BECAUSE OF DRIVE SHAFT FAILURE. LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT CV BOOT WERE LEAKING. *YH

BRAKES VIBRATE AND DO NOT SLOW VEHICLE ADEQUATELY. WHEN SLOWING TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO LOW GEAR AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES AND LURCHES FORWARD. TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IS REQUIRED TO AVOID LOOSING CONTROL. THIS IS UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT ADDRESSED PROPERLY.
