Rotor
The brake pedal pulsated when it was applied. In addition, the steering wheel jerked when the brake pedal was applied. The brake rotors were cut at 7,000 miles, replaced at 13,0000 miles and cut again at 19,000 miles. The failure has recurred at 28,000 miles. The dealership indicated this failure happened because of the quality of steel used combined with heat caused the rotor to wrap. *jb

We've been having fron suspension problems, and the…

The brakes started to shimmy at about 15,000 miles on the vehicle. It became a safety issue with violent shaking when decelerating at 25,000 miles and was brought into burnside motors (where it was purchased). The garage diagnosed the rotors and brake pads needed replacing. Rotors should not be a normal wear item with only 25,000 miles on a vehicle. Daimler chrysler refused to cover the cost and installation of the…

I am having to replace rotors on my jeep grand cherokee for the third time in 30,000 miles. When i removed the front tires to rotate them, i could grab the rotors and effortlessly move them quite a few centimeters. I am in fear of having a catastrophic failure and will be requesting that jeep take back my vehicle and pay off the remainder of my loan. I would never have purchased this vehicle had i known or been told…

I have had to have the rotors on my jeep serviced twice. When stopping, they shook so badly i could hardly control the vehicle. The first failure was covered under warranty. I knew nothing of this problem with jeep at that time. The second time, i had heard about the problem and asked the dealership if i would still have to pay for the service. They said yes, that this is "normal wear" for a vehicle this size.…

The rotors were resurfaced and the problem was eliminated. The certified jeep mechanic who fized…
