What a lemon! We are averaging $2000/year in repairs. Power windows that stop working, water pump breaks, brake rotors need replacing before brakes wear out, leaking differential, transmission, and now we're told by dealer service department we need a new transfer case. Whoever designed/built/sold this vehicle doesn't have much pride in their workmanship.

I have done some limited research and have found that daimar-chrysler has isued a technical service bulletin for this problem. I feel this is a major safety problem since it involves the brakes and the rotors are warping for no apparent reason. If the metal in the rotors cannot handle the heat and warp, what effect does this have on the molecular structure of the rotor? Will it break apart next time? Their fix for…

I had a pulsation/roughness when braking. The front rotors were found to have two to four 1/2 to 1 inch cracks coming from the center hub holes. If these cracks went undetected, it would of caused a serious accident. The dealership and daimlerchrysler are stating the reason why i'm having the problems is because of my first brake job, done only about 10,000 miles ago. They said that non-mopar pads (wagner) were…

Rotors need replaced again. They say its my driving habits. Rotors should not have to be replaced at 12,000 mile incriments at owners expense. There has to be a problem with the way the vehicle was built. I have owned other cars and never replaced my rotors. The rotors were replaced in january 2000 at 12,500 mile. The dealership in michigan replaced at no cost to me. Now that i am in oklahoma, it is doing the same…

Jeep/chrysler is not responsive to the problems with these vehicles. The brakes are dangerous and cause so much vibration in the brake pedal and steering wheel that driver control is adversely affected.
