I experienced severe brake vibration when braking casually at hwy speeds. This made it difficult to hold the steering wheel steady and hold control on the road. Dealer said rotors need turning- at 8000 miles? Problem reoccured 6 mnths later at 15000 miles-had a broad blade lathe cut at a different dealer. First dealer wanted to charge me and then said they did not have right equipment to fix it. Problem reoccured…

Been to the dealer 6 times for the brakes. When braking from 60 mph+, the truck shakes violently. Repairs last 3,000 miles, then it returns. I have filed a complaint with daimlerchrysler. I will file a law suit if this truck is not replaced, it seems very dangerous. *ak

Front brake rotors were repaired 3 times due to being warped. It caused vehicle to shimmy when brakes were applied. Brake pads & rotors were replaced again since last repair. Took back to dealership & mechanic indicated cause of problem was the way driver applied brakes. Brake rotors would get hot, and this caused rotors to get out of round. *ak

Repated brake failures: front brake rotors continue to warp and fail every 5000 to 12000 miles. Dealership continues to replace rotors, but fails to discover the cause of the problem. Brakes are the number one safety component on a vehicle, and this vehicle is not safe. The most recent failure has caused the anti-lock brake system to fail. During emergency stops the front brakes lock and vehicle begins to skid.…

Initial problem was diagnosed as "excessive runout on front rotors" and was repaired under warranty by turning the rotors with an "on the car lathe". The same symptoms began to reoccur at approx. 22000 miles. Lightly at first, and now very severe shaking happens between 50 and 60 mph when brakes are applied. It is currently being reapaired, but i'm told not under warranty. The advisor says it is caused by improper…

Brakes are pulsating when applied. Brakes and pads have been changed four times within past three years. Pads wear fast, and put too much pressure on the rotors. Dealer has been notified. *ak

Vehicle exhibits a dangerous level of side to side shudder as well as a non-linear deceleration which may result in whiplash when evenly applying brake pressure. The description of the problem in jeep tsb 05-03-98, "minor brake pulsation" is a gross understatement. The level of shudder may result in loss of vehicle control, especially when decelerating from highway speeds. *ak

I have experienced chronic problems with the front rotors on my car. I have felt pulsation while breaking at regular 6 month intervals and have had to repeatedly bring the car in for service to remedy this problem.

This happened at 12,000, 18,000, 24,000, 30,000 and now at 36,000 when the dealer suggests that i replace the…

The automatic transmission failed and had to be replaced after about 6000 miles. There is a lot of noise from the rear, sounds like it is coming from the differential or axle. It is loud enough to be heard over the radio. The front rotors appear to be warped. When braking at highway speeds, the steering wheel shudders. It does not feel safe. *ak
