problem #4

Dec 202003

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,650 miles
Jeep gc 2002-had rotors, pads and calipers replaced at 12,660 miles because of violent shaking during braking on highways at speeds of over 40 mph, had to replace everything again at 23,989 miles and now at my own cost. Manager stated that the rotors were "blue" and that someone has been riding on the brakes all the time and that is why they are worped ("blue" from high temperature). That is not the case, I do regular driving in the city and on highway. Please investigate as I have found other Jeep owners with the same problems all over the United States on the Jeep internet forums.

Grand Cherokee 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 19,000 miles
Rotors and brakes. I have resurfaced my rotors once and now I am replacing them. I purchased the car new and it is now 12 months and 2 weeks old, much too soon for either of these repairs and replacements. The dealer tells me its my problem, not theirs. I am also having to replace the brake pads for the second time.
