Brakes shutter when applied. Dealer says warped rotors/ calipers, & pads need replacement, Jeep is just out of warranty, and they want a small fortune to repair a know defect. This is a safty issue that needs to be recalled.

My Jeep has approx 24,000, predominately highway. Not stop and go traffic, the brakes should not need to be fully replaced. My father has a 2001 and also had to replace his front and rear rotors. I believe that this is a continual problem for Jeep and that should be investigated more thoroughly. If a survey was conducted for Jeep owners I am sure a prevalent number of owners would share this complaint. To allow this factor to exist in such a popular vehicle is a danger to the consumer and any one who shares the road.

problem #6

Car shakes when brakes are applied, steering wheel visably shaking. When I took the car to the dealer to ahve this fixed they responded by telling me that I needed new brakes. This is a car that is barely a year old and has 23,000 miles on it. I expect brakes to last longer on this and was told that I would have to pay for new brakes. When I refused, and through much hassle, the dealer replaced them at no charge. Most of the miles on this car are highway miles and I would expect Jeep to make a better product. This is after I had it towed to the dealer twice in one day for the car completely turing off while driving. This problem happened after having the car for about two months.

Grand Cherokee 4WD

Vehicle has 7500 miles and already has warped rotors. There is a pulsating feeling on the steering wheel when brake is applied. It is still under warranty but chances of it re-occuring are very good because of the rotors that Chrysler uses. Very disappointed.
