Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L

  • 151,615 miles

Third time now with pulsing brakes. I know it needs rotors and pads again. Too bad they changed the caliper in mid model year because of this issue but my Cherokee was just before that update. I have learned how to do the replacement myself but still the cost of rotors and pads plus one rebuild of the calipers is getting old.

I have had to replace the calipers, rotors and brake pads because the brakes pulse when applied. I have been through a lot of rotors and calipers on this vehicle.

problem #1

Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Irritating wobble when applying the brakes. GM says calipers are to blame, they replaced some, but most still experienced the problem. Only fix is to R&R the front calipers, rotors and pads. Happens about every 30K miles.
