I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ROTORS 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS ON MY JEEP, GRAND CHEROKEE. THERE IS A PULSATING EFFECT WHEN I ATTEMPT TO STOP.. I FEEL THAT THIS A VERY SEVERE SAFTEY PROBLEM AND I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD OWN UP TO THERE PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS AND HAVE AN ACROSS THE BOARD RECALL OR THEY COULD END UP IN THE SAME BOAT AS FIRESTONE / FORD. I FEAR FOR THE SAFTEY OF THE OCCUPANTS OF MINE AND OTHER PEOPLES VEHICLES WHEN THEY ARE FORCE TO DRIVE A JEEP WITH FAULTY ROTORS AND BRAKING SYSTEMS. MUST SOMEONE DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE??? I THINK THAT A RECALL SHOULD START NOW. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A MAJOR SAFTEY PROBLEM. CHRYSLER IS MAKING US PAY BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 12000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE. *AK

LEFT REAR TIRE HAD TREAD SEPARATION AND SIDEWALL CIRCUMFERENTIAL DISINTEGRATION, WITH LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE SUV. IT WAS DRY ROAD, DAYTIME, OUTSIDE TEMP ABOUT 55F, SPEED ABOUT 42 MPH, AND CAR HAD BEEN MOVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM COLD START. CAR CAREENED SIDE TO SIDE OF 2 LANE MEDIUM SPEED HIGHWAY, FINALLY STOPPING IN ABOUT 1/4-1/3 MILE. REQUIRED EXTREMELY VIGOROUS MUSCLE TO LIMIT LATERAL TRAVEL AND TORQUE ROLL OF VEHICLE. THE SOUND WAS LIKE A HELICOPTER ROTOR CHOP THAT BECAME RAPIDLY LOUDER OVER 5-10 SEC, FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF CONTROL. TIRE INSPECTED BY INSURANCE WHO CERTIFIED THERE WAS NO ROAD HAZARD CAUSE, AND 'HAD NEVER SEEN A TIRE DISINTEGRATE LIKE THIS BEFORE'. TIRES ARE OEM, ORIGINAL, ROTATED PER SCHEDULE, MAINTAINED PRESSURE PER LABELLING.
