Front brake rotors have been replaced three times within the 25000 miles of vehicle wear. This is not considered to be a normal condition. Dealer is notified, and problem is still unable to be resolved.

- Norwalk, IA, USA

problem #4

Dec 011998

Cherokee

  • miles
Vibrating of front end, front rotors and rear drums replaced at 11K miles for being warped. Vibrating began again at around 21K miles. Suspected front rotor warped again. Vibration so bad at high speeds that it almost shakes steering wheel out of hand. Plan to contact dealer, but doubt dealer will correct without cost due to manufacturer's warranty on brakes is only for 12K. Look at your list of complaints. This appears to be reoccurring problem.
