Consumer brakes worked fine before recall repair, after the recall 00V-136 work was performed the brakes began to pulsate when applied, consumer took the vehicle back to dealer, dealer found theat the calipers were sticking causing the rotors to overheat and warp and in turn caused the pads to wear prematurely.

I own 2 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both of which have premature front rotor and pad failure at 20,000 miles. Both the dealer and the manufacturer are not willing to tell me why these components are prematurely wearing out. Even though we live in the "salt belt" the dealer replaced the rotors on my green 98 Jeep but not on my black 98 Jeep. They claim that none of my Jeep fall under the recall due to the vinnumbers and that they are registered in va and not DC. Even though we commute into DC everyday into the recall area they are not willing to replace the rotors on the black Jeep. The warped rotors are also wearing out the pads. Some owner complaints off the web have stated that daimlerchrylser installed brake pads that were to hard. The heat buildup from the friction of the hard pads is what is warping the rotors. I don't know if that is true or not. We need help. Rotors and pads should last around 40,000 miles if not more. Could you please see if you can get daimler to recall all rotors for those of us who live in the Virginia suburbs of Washington? thanks.
