At about 30k miles started to have a shimmy from the front end when applying brakes. Took to dealer and they advised brakes are 'wear' items and wouldn't correct. Ended up buying 'upgraded' factory brake calipers for the front and aftermarket rotors to correct the problem. Caw. *jb

I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. At ~20000 miles, when applying the brakes at speeds > 40 mph, the steering wheel violently shakes and shudders. Car has occasionally drifted left, almost causing accidents due to problem. Chrysler released an internal bulletin on this - no 05-003-02 rev b issued on dec 16,2002. Well within the 3 yr, 36,000 mile warranty, the service department i used refused to honor any of…

Problem: brakes when i am traveling approximately 50 mph, and i brake, the car vibrates. I believe that there must be a problem with the rotors. This has been going on for quite awhile, but recently, i learned that this is a problem with many jeeps. Also, the mirrors (on the sides of the car) flip back and forth too easily. I had someone look at these, and i was told that the springs are gone. This seems to be…

Continue to experience front brake rotor failure due to warpage. This has occurred every 6,000-8,000 miles. Rotors and pads have been replaced 4 times with the calipers replaced the last time per tsb #0500302 dtd 5/02. They have now failed again even with the new calipers. The dealer has been great, however this is a design flaw with chrysler/jeep that needs a recall and a permanent fix. It is a safety issue as well…

When brakes are applied, the vehicle and steering wheel vibrated. Vibrations increased when attempting to stop quickly or from higher speeds. Steering wheel shakes so hard now that it is difficult to control car. First started to notice problem just over 12,000 miles when warranty had expired. Judging from other complaints as well as tsb bulletins, this is a common problem with jeeps. Why isn't there a recall, or…

Rotors warped at 27,000 - dealership admitted this is a serious problem . Vehicle shuddrers uncontrollably when braking hard. If the driver rarely brakes hard, he may not realize the extent of the problem until he forcefully applies the brakes. At that point, it is very easy to get into an accident. , . There are hundreds of postings with this problem - chrysler needs to do something to make jeep recall and fix the…

The nhtsb should make daimler/chrysler fix jeep grand cherokee brake rotor problems at no cost to the owner. Our jgc had all four brake rotors replaced at 14000 mi. Because of strong vibration when the brakes were applied. The vibration at highway speed was bad enough to make the vehicle difficult to keep in control. That time, d/c would not cover the problem because the warranty period for brakes ended at 12000 mi.…
