Brakes began to shake vehicle's front end violently when applied at speeds above 50 mph. I originally noticed problem at about 15,000 miles, but problem continued to worsen. Brakes had to be replaced and rotors resurfaced at 19,000 miles on odometer. I have never replaced brakes on a car at 19,000 miles. Dealership told me there was nothing they could do. After $190.00 dollar repair the car is back on the road till…

It is obvious this problem with severely defective brake rotors is a major safety defect. I feel that if the proper safety organization were to investigate this thoroughly by testing braking distance, brake handling,and how abs brake system is affected it would be found to be a significant safety hazard in all the vehicles involved. I would not be surprised if some accidents could have all ready been avoided if this…

After researching a problem with my 2000 grand cherokee on-line, a website encouaged me to file a complaint on this site. My vehicle shakes (steering wheel and whole truck) when even slightly touching the brake pedal at speeds of greater than 40 mph. Based on what i have located on the internet, and what the dealership told me, this is a very very common problem in the 2000 jeep. I feel as if i could easily lose…

First noticed vibration when stopping due to warped front brake rotors before 10000 miles. Had serviced at dealer at 13373 miles per dailmer-chrysler tsb (rotors turned down, new "improved" brake pads). Problem reoccurred and was taken back to the dealer at 29899 miles. Dealer admits there is a design problem, but dailmer-chrysler will not, and hence will not cover the repair under warranty nor provide a more…

Our grand cherokee developed a severely pulsating brake pedal at 7,000 miles of non off road use, city driving, the selling dealer replaced the front rotors. This occurred again about 15,000 miles later, again with very gentle vehicle usage. The manufacturer claims the vehicle is outside of warranty period at 2 years, and brakes are not warrantied. We maintain there is a design deffect in this system allowing…

Dealer resurfaced front and back rotors and charged us an $80.00 (deductable) fee, with the balance paid by daimler chrysler as gooodwill. Six…

Steering wheel and brake pedal when brakes was applied. I took vehicle to dealer for inspection and they determined that the brake pads were worn down and the rotors needed resurfacing. They said that the parts had a warranty for 12,000 miles. I feel that the brake pads and rotor were worn down prematurely due to defect in design of brake system. Chrysler should redesign their rotors and recall the defective…
