The door lock actuator that is very annoying not to mention my…

My 2000 jeep grand cherokee 6 cyl. 4x4 has had extensive rotor problems leading to replacement of rotors at 19,000 (covered by dealer), 40,000 (at my expense), at 63,520, again at my expense, at 90,000, and now again, replacing all 4 rotors at 363.50 per set at 112,000 miles. This needs to be recalled and investigated immediately. *tr

Due to faulty rotors, calipers, and brakes which resulted in the well documented shimmy in 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredos, i had the dealership replace all components at 70k miles. Now at 121,000; the shimmy is so bad at 40 mph that i nearly lose control of the vehicle. Looks like another expensive brake job to correct an inherent jeep defect. *jb

Break failure while driving down a mountain. We had no warning of this problem until we started descending a mountain in arizona. The brakes started to "chatter" and didn't hold.

Brake pulsation and heavy vibration during normal braking. This is due to defective brake componets i.e. Warping of rotors caused by heat friction from inferior metal and or manufacturing process.

Although d/c isn't admitting guilt, the proposed settlement will cover only those vehicles that…

Vehicle first started vibrating when braking in 2000. Took it in to the dealership and the replaced the rotors. Since then i have had it in about every 6 to 8 months for the same repairs. When i take it in tomorrow it will be the 6th time. This time they are claiming that warranty no longer covers it. With this many complaints regarding the brakes, why hasn't there been a recall to fix it properly?*ak

Steering wheel shakes violently when brakes are applied, espeically at high speed. Mechanic recommends all new braking system, as this is chronic problem for this car. Upon my own personal research of this, i can see he is correct. It seems everyone with a 2000 grand cherokee in the nation has this exact issue. A recall to correct the problem before someone dies would be appreciated.*ak
