Rotor
The 1999-2000 (at least) model years of the jeep grand cherokee have a softer metal used in the brakes. This causes the driver to have the sensation that the vehicle will not stop in time to avoid a collision. I experience this myself. The brakes wear unevenly and also cause the vehicle to lope or buggy when stopping. My vehicle was in for a major service yesterday and i asked the service department personnel to…

I own a 2000 jeep grand cheerokee with 52,000 miles. Today i brought the vehicle in for the 4th time to have the rotors resurfaced due to warping. The dealership has also replaced the calipers and pads on the front and back of my vehicle. The dealer is very aware of the problem and said it is only a matter of time until the brakes are recalled. In the meantime, i am driving an unsafe vehicle.*ak

I purchased my 2000 jeep grand che. Laredo brand new in 2000. Vin # [xxx]. Since that purchase we have had nothing but trouble with the brakes. The rotors were replaced before it had 12,000 miles and have been turned several other times. Brake pads wear out as quickly as we can get them on. Now on 10-23-03, we took the jeep into a local service shop for an oil change and tire rotation. They informed us that the…

Recently purchased 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. The brake rotors were warped, and paid to have them resurfaced. The rotors immediately warped again, and i had another shop replace them with oem rotors. The vehicle still exhibits unsafe behavior under even moderate braking conditions, and i have no money left for rotor repairs. I now find myself avoiding braking (ridiculous i know) in order to escape the noise…

Both front and rear rotors have excessive run out. Excessive rotor thickness variation generated by pool caliper centering causing steering wheel shake. Brakes were repaired 12/26/2000 at 11,579 miles and again at 21,915 miles on june 13, 2002. Took it in again july with 30,700 miles and was told it was out of warranty and too bad. I had been assured from the beginning that chrysler knew of the problem and would…

Dt: there is a shimmy when braking and it is worse when going over 40 mph. This causes the rotors to warp and the bake pads to wear out faster. The manufacturer recomendes that the brake calipers be replaced with after market calipers. *jb

I have had the rotors resurfaced twice, and the rotors and calipers replaced once in 19000 miles. No that the warranty has run out, the dealer is very nasty about correcting the problem. If you ask me, any problems with brakes, steering, or fuel leaks are bound to end in casualties, if they haven't already. Now wonder american car companies have to offer 0% apr, it's the only way you can sale a lemon. *nlm

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee that requires new rotors every 18,000 miles or less. When the rotors start deteriorating the whole car shakes, shimmies and is difficult to control when the brakes are applied. This is dangerous and seems an unnecessary expense for the price of the vehicle. All jeep dealers will tell you their rotors are bad, but i don't see any consumer help or improvement provided by the dealers.…
