CONSTANT BRAKE DUST, UNUSUAL WEAR ON ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS, AFTER JUST UNDER 40000.ROTORS COULD NOT BE TURNED MUST BE REPLACED, DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES WEAR PROBLEM ON L SERIES BUT GM WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE TO COST AT THIS POINT. REAR TIRE WEAR DEALER DOES ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM AND DID REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AND SHIM KIT FOR CHPPED UP REAR TIRES BUT HAS NOT DONE ACROSS BOARD RECALL ?*AK

SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2002 KIA SPORTAGE MY BRAKES STARTED TO PULSATE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE WARPED AND NEEDED REPLACING. ROTORS AND PADS IN FRONT HAVE BEEN REPLACED NOW 4 TIMES IN 16 MONTHS!*AK

I OWN A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED W/ 36,000 MILES BRAKES PULSATE AT 40 MPH AND ALMOST OUT OF CONTROLL @ 55 MPH AND OVER WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. ALMOST SIDE SWIPED A BUS WITH MY CHILD IN CAR TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. HAVE RETURNED TO DEALER ( JOHN IRISH AUTO PLAZA SAN RAFAEL CA) JIM GRAVES HAS BEEN VERY UNDERSTANDING. ITS NOT THE DEALER I AM UPSET IT IS WITH CHRYSLER/ DAIMLER!!! THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM , ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE!!! THEY REPLACE WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE ROTORS THEY SHOULD PROVIDE ANOTHER BRAKE ROTOR SYSTEM TO SEE IF IT TAKES CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I HEAR STILLEN HAS SOMETHING THAT MAY WORK.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE NOT ONLY THE BRAKE PADS BUT THE ROTORS AS WELL, EVERY 20,000 MILES DEALER TELLS ME IT'S THE WAY I DRIVE. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT I DRIVE FOR A LIVING AND I'M SORRY IT'S THE PRODUCT! *LA

I THINK GRANDAM HAS THE WORST BRAKING SYSTEM ON THEIR CARS. I SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ALONE ON BRAKES. I'VE ASKED SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ALSO OWN A GRANDAM AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING I CHANGE MY BRAKES AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A YEAR. I OWN A 98 PONTIAC GRANDAM AND AS SOON AS I FINISH PAYING ON IT I AM GETTING RID OF IT.*AK

THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE TO BE CONSISTENTLY REPAIRED. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THE JEEP ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES. I HAVE ANOTHER JEEP THAT HAS ALSO BEEN BROUGHT IN THREE TIMES AND IT HAS LESS THAN 25,000 MILES. ALL FOR BAD BRAKES WHICH I'M CONSISTENTLY TOLD , " IS A KNOWN DEFECT" BY CHRYSLER AND THE TECHNICAL STAFF.*AK

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

BRAKE ROTORS ON MY 2001 JEEP GRANDE CHEROKEE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT 7,968 MILES, 14,133 MILES, 21,839 MILES AND THE CONDITION IS RECURRING AT 26,677 MILES. INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER INDICATES THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM EFFECTIVE THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS NATIONWIDE AND DAIMLERCHRYSTER IS NOT COOPERATING AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT THAT IS BEING REPLACE WITH DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. ODI - NHTSA APPARENTLY HAS NOT LAUNCHED A FORMAL INVESTIGATION, BUT CERTAINLY SHOULD. TO FORCE DAIMLERCHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND INITIATE A MUCH NEEDED RECALL.*AK

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. IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE A REAL CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY. 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 WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED 3 MONTHS PRIOR. THIS PROBLEM REALLY SHOULD BE RECALLED. AND CHRYSLER IS NOT VERY NICE ABOUT ANY SITUATION LIKE THIS. THEY DON'T CARE HOW INCONVENIENCED YOU ARE. THEY NEVER OFFER YOU A CAR, WHILE YOURS IS SUPPOSE TO BE "BEING FIXED." I ONLY WISH IT WAS FIXED. NO MORE JEEPS FOR ME. IT'S A LEMON!! *JB
