There is a defect in the brakes for the 1999 jeep. A very large percentage of the jeep problems on your web site relate to this speciifc problem. The dealer and manufacturer are ignoring my complaints. Every 10,000 miles or so the jeep will wobble severely when brakes are applied because of premature warping of brakes/rotors/drums and discs. The descriptions of others on your web site are identical to this. *ak

The disc brakes on the 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo are the same as those recalled on the 1999 jeep cherokee sport (recall 00v136000), but the manufacturer is unwilling to admit to any known brake disc defect on the laredo. The problem is pitting of the disc surface leading to a pulsating vibration when the brakes are applied.*ak

Brakes cause pulse in brake pedal when brakes applied. Pads and rotors replaced once before. Brakse also squeak. Believe current rotors unable to stand heat...reason for warpping. Calipers may also be cause. Recommend replace with aftermarket products...believe mopar products will continue to fail. *ak
