Brake rotors became warped to the point the vehicle bounced when braking. Dealer declined to replace rotors, how ever agreed to machine them per tsb. Dealer service confirmed this was a proplem on some 1999jeeps. My concern is, although they did the work under warranty,i will have to replace the rotors sometime in the future, because they did not.*ak

Jeep lemon!!! Terrible vehicle, terrible company!! This vehicle should be recalled immediately for these two issues, among others! I have almost rearended someone, by lookingback to see if i was rear ended due to the hard shift. The brakes shake so much under braking that i did rear end someone, however there was no noticable damage to either vehicle. *ak
