The front brake rotors on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee warpe about every 10,000 miles. I am about to replace them for the third time at 42000 miles! At 31000 miles, the local jeep dealer installed a "fit" kit" which obviously has not worked. The brake problem is an obvious safety problem. The first time that this happened, i was traveling down a steep road in the sierra/nevada mountains and almost lost control of the…

I have a 2000 jeep with recurring problems with what i am told are the brake rotors. They apparently keep warping, causing moderate to severe shimmying when braking at higher speeds and pulsating when braking at lower speeds. At 10,531 miles i brought the car in. They resurfaced the rotars which they claim the manufacturer claimed would fix the problem. Then at 26,579 miles i was back at the dealer. They told me the…

I have had the brakes fixed on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee 3 times. The steering wheel shakes and vibrates uncontrollably when the brakes are applied at any speed.

I went to get them fixed for the fourth time, with only 20,000 miles on the car, and i was told i had to pay for it, since my…

We experienced extreme pulsing and jerking while applying our brakes. This problem manifested at about 10,000 miles. We had the problem repaired (dealer said the rotors were warped). This problem is now occurring aging at 20,000 miles. The pulsing is extreme and we are not confident in the safety of our brakes. We are now forced to pay again to have this repaired. Jeep issued a tsb but not a recall - this is a very…

My 2000 grand has had the rotors replaced or resurfaced 3 times under warranty and twice at my expense. Brakes make it almost impossible to stop the car at speeds over 55 mph. Unsafe to drive. Dealer claims that the problem was fixed for the 2004 models. Why did it take them 4 years to fix this type of safety problem?*ak

Defective brakes on a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The dealer replaced the brake rotor's once before the warranty was up. But the rotor's are warped again and the car only has 25,000 miles on it. Surely, there is a problem with this design which could lead to a reall problem when the care is being driven on a freeway? I have replaced the brake rotors on the rear of the vehicle myself but now the front rotors seem to be…

I bought my jeep 6 months ago. It now has 79000 miles and i have no clue how many times the previous owner changed the rotors. I also have the problem of a vibrating uncontrollably wheel when i start to break at 30 mph or over. I guess i will have to change my front rotors and then deal with it again in 20,000 miles. I find this to be ridiculous. *ak
