The brakes on 2002 Grand Cherokee are very suspect. The dealer replaced them under warranty at 24,000 miles due to warpage of rotors. At 54,000 miles the rotors were turned because of warpage and now at 62,000 they exhibit symptoms of being warped again - worse than before they were last turned. Jeep has obviously only replaced defective parts with defective parts. This creates cost, inconvenience and potential safety hazard to the consumer.

Sub standard materials used in front rotors for 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I believe it affects all from 1999 to 2004.

- Lakeland , FL, USA

The front brake rotors have warped for the second time in 42,000 miles. Driving with these warped rotors causes the steering wheel to shake violently and brake application at the wheels to be uneven. The shaking is more pronounced when braking from speeds above 40 mph. This is a very unsafe condition especially on wet or icy surfaces. The dealer refuses to replace the rotors under warranty.

After reading almost all complaints with other 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I have to put in my two cents worth. I can relate to almost every complaint that there is. I just had both my front left and right window regulators replaced a month and a half apart, one just today at $327 with my employee discount. (I work for a car dealership) last month, I have had almost $500 worth of repairs for my power steering pump problems. I have had my brake rotors turned and resurfaced and am in need of doing it again. Then on the other hand, I have experienced problems with my dual control panel not working correctly which I have not have repaired yet because I don't have the money for that one and didn't know at the time that it was a problem. Then when my Jeep was under warranty I have had the air conditioner compressor replaced, new battery(for hard or no starting), amongst other repairs that I can't think of at the moment. I have also been experiencing hard starts with my truck and also the transmission not engaging or jumping (accelerating) while switching gears that the Jeep dealer has not been able to recognize as a problem. I feel that those new Chrysler commercials are not up to par as american and german engineering. Those germans know how to build vehicles in the first place and help repair them as the problem seem necessary.

My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo has had the rotors warp three times in the first 38,000 miles. The first of which occurred around 12,000 miles the second at 24,000 and now again.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When braking, the steering wheel shudders and front end vibrates. I was told by Jeep service that calipers were defective causing rotors to warp. Vehicle has only 23000 miles. Dealer service informed me all front end brake components would have to be replaced at my expense. After further discussion, service dept. Agreed to a one time repair under a '' good will warranty. After researching this website, I see this is an ongoing problem for at least 4 years. This is truly a safety issue and I can't understand why there has not been a recall at some point in time.
