Grand Cherokee

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,000 miles
I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 68,000 miles and just had the brakes fixed again for the 6th time. My dealer keeps telling me the parts are inferior and I can expect to replace the brakes after 6-7000 miles. I feel this is excessive and Jeep should be able to develope a material that will help the brakes last longer. Other makes of cars never have the problem that Jeep does. I also feel this could be very dangerous since not every one can afford to replace the brakes every 7,000 miles. I can see by the internet that there are thousands of complaints, can't you do something before this is a fire, property damage or crash?

I own a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee that experiances brake rotor wrapping about every 10 to 15K miles. This is a well documented problem, and there should be a recall placed on this component due to the sensitive nature of its effective operation.

Front rotors become and stay warped after long (greater than 2 hr) trips. This has happened 3 times and each time the vehicle becomes unstable when brakes are applied and subsequently until the rotors pads and calipers are replaced. This is a real safety issue!!!
