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.

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.

Brakes were pulsating due to warped rotors, which decreased stopping distance. This caused steering wheel to jerk violently. The higher the speed, the more pronounced it became. Dealer's remedy was to shave down the rotors.
