1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED TWICE, REPLACED TWICE AND THE PROBLEM IS NOW BACK AGAIN. DEALER STATED PROBLEM WAS DUE TO "MEXICAN STEEL" AND DRIVER ERROR IN THAT I DROVE WITH THE DEFAULT OVERDRIVE ON. HE STATED I SHOULD DRIVE WITH OVERDRIVE OFF AT SPEEDS BELOW 45 MPH. PLEASE NOTE THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND TECHNICAL BULLETINS IN YOUR DATABASE REGARDING THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT IS INHERENT IN THE VEHICLES PARTS. NOW CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR ANOTHER SET OF ROTORS. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANKS.

CHRYSLER "EXTENDED THE WARRANTY" TO REPAIR FRONT BRAKES, BUT WOULD ADMIT NO LIABILITY ON THE REAR BRAKES. *AK
