BRAKE PARTS Complaints

I HAVE 47000 MILES ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS TWICE. ONCE AT ABOUT 25000 MILES AND NOW AGAIN AT 47000 MILES. WHAT A RIP OFF. *AK

I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS ON MY 2002 JEEP REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 23,000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR ROTOR REPLACEMENT. ANY THOUGHTS OF A RECALL ON THESE ROTORS?? *JB

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AT 24K MILES, THE BRAKES VIBRATED SO BAD THAT I HAD TO APPLY SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN SAFE BRAKING. MY JEEP DEALER TOLD ME I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM REDONE-AND I DID- $600+ BILL. NOW 10K MILES LATER, THE BRAKES ARE AGAIN PULSING. THE DEALER NOW SAYS THE ROTORS NEED TO BE RESURFACE-SAME ONES THEY REPLACED 10K MILES AGO AND THAT THIS ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY NO RECALL? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET HURT IN AN ACCIDENT?*AK

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO.I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED FOUR TIMES IN UNDER ONE. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY DC AS A RECALL. I 'VE TRIED TO GET THE TSB ( TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITAN) DONE FOR FREE BEING THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THSE VEHICHLES AND I WAS DENIED.*AK

SINCE PURCHASE, BRAKES HAVE REQUIRED REPEATED REPLACEMENT STARTING AT 4,759 MILES 2 1/2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. 1998-PRESENT IS THE PERIOD OVER WHICH THIS MATTER CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. DATE BELOW IS NOT SPECIFIC AS RANGE CANNOT BE INPUT. THE CONSUMER NOTED THAT NISSAN HAS TAKEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES, THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE FAULTY BRAKE PROBLEM. *CB

MY KIA RIO HAS 15000 MILES ON AND THE BRAKES WENT IN THE CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER HERITAGE FORD AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO COVER THIS. IT WAS ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE FRONT. SO THAT MEANT A FAULTY PART IN MY EYES. I CALLED KIA ALSO WHO DID NOT CARE. SO I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AND WHEN TAKING THEM OFF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE PAD ITSELF WAS THERE BUT THE BRAKE FELL OFF THE PAD. AND MOST NORMAL CARS THE BRAKES ARE HELD ON WITH A POP RIVET. NOT THIS CAR. THEY ARE HELD ON WITH THIN PIECES OF ALUMINUM WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS HOW EASY ALUMINUM BENDS AND TWISTS EXACTLY HOW MINE WERE. AND THE BRAKE IS HELD ONTO THE PAD WITH GLUE!!! THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURING. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS CAR AND WITH THE WAY KIA HANDLED THIS SITUATION. *LA

2002 CHEVROLET TRACKER HAS BEEN TO CARGIL CHEVROLET IN PUTNMAN ,CONN . WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEM MANY OF TIMES FOR VIBRATIONS AND BALANCE ON TIRES ARE WRONG ,AND OTHER THINGS REPLACED. BUT THEY STILL CANNT FIX IT THEY SAY IT THE TRACKER ITSELF. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE INDICATOR LAMP ON THE DASH TURNING ON WHEN APPLY BRAKES. THE INDICATOR LIGHT BECOMES ACTIVE WHEN THE WEATHER REACHES A TEMPERATURE OF 32 DEGREE OR LOWER. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO A TOYOTA DEALER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. TOYOTA FOUND NO PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. *NLM

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE 4X4 LT. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS EVERY 5,000 MILES. I AM NOW LOOKING TO SPEND ANOTHER $600 TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THEM LOOKED AT EACH TIME, AND I AM TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CALIPERS AND THEY HAVE NO REASON AS TO WHY THE ROTORS ARE BEING WARPED. THE MOST RECENT TIME I TOOK IN THE TAHOE I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE BLUE DUE TO THE HEAT FROM THE PADS, BUT AGAIN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CALIPERS OR ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVE NOT BEEN CARRYING ANY HEAVY LOADS IN THE VEHICLE, OR DRIVING HARD. MOST OF THE MILES ARE FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN IT OFF ROADING. *AK

I BOUGHT MY 2002 FORDFOCUS IN AUGUST 2002 FROM UNIVERSAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER OF HAVING THE FOCUS MY BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING. MY NEW CAR ONLY FELT AND DROVE LIKE A NEW CAR FOR ONE MONTH. I TOOK BACK THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS NORMAL. I RECENTLY CHANGED MY BRAKE PADS AND HAD MY ROTORS CHECKED OUT AND STILL AM HAVING BRAKES SQUEALING. *LA
