I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THE BRAKE DISC PROBLEM THAT I'VE ENCOUNTERED HASN'T BEEN A FAILURE. HOWEVER, I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT THESE COMPONENTS ON ALL JEEPS. ALL OF MY FRIENDS HAVE JEEPS AND DO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES MAY NOT STOP THE VEHICLE, ROTORS WARP CONSTANTLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND REPAIRS/SERVICE ISSUES ARE A HASSLE. I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS IS INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEBODY IS INJURED OR KILLED. ALSO, JASPER JEEP IS THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD THE JEEP TO ME. THEY ARE GREAT. IT IS NALLEY JEEP IN ROSWELL GA THAT IS GIVING ME A HARD TIME. THEY WILL NO LONGER AUTHORIZE "FREE REPAIRS" TO A FAULTY PRODUCT. THE NUMBER TO THAT DEALERSHIP IS [XXX] AND THE ADDRESS IS [XXX], ROSWELL GA 30076.
