The rotors on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo are going bad after having them done last year. This is a known problem with jeeps. I feel this should be looked into because this is not a norm. *nlm

I have a jeep grand cherokee laredo 1999. (purchased new) we are having continued problems with the front brakes. Today the 3rd set of new rotors were installed. My vehicle only has 28,700 miles!!!! When braking this is a very unstable vehicle. Vibrations are so severe it feels as if you could loose control of the vehicle. So many people have the same complaint. Why no recall??????? *nlm

I own a 1999 six-cylinder jeep grand cherokee (purchased new). Have had recurrent brake problems. Rotors warp prematurely. Braking causes a safety hazard, car and steering wheel shakes violently. Had rotors turned at least four times and new pads. Daimler-chrysler is aware they have put inferior brakes on their vehicles but refuse to admit it. Pressure needs to be put on this company. I am purchasing a whole new set…

Took jeep in for unrelated service and they told me that jeep has come out with new rotors for this problem and that it…

Diminished braking and stopping distance. Replacing front rotors of vehicle for 3rd time at 80000 miles. The last brake inspection at 70000 miles indicated 80% life remaining for front and back brakes. Currently at 80000 miles front brakes are at 10% life. Replaced rotors for first time at 57000 miles. Also, had rotors "deglazed" at 24000 miles due to squeaks and diminished stopping ability. *jb

I incurred an expense of $351.90 at 52k miles and another…
