2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTOR AND PADS.*MR THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS AT 20000 MILES AND 29000 AT 35000 THE ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED. AT 37000 THE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW AT 39000 MILES THE BRAKES ARE BECOMING A PROBLEM AGAIN. *NM

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG - SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR WAS SHOT, SO I PULLED OVER. COOLANT WAS LEAKING OUT AND THERE WERE PIECES OF BLACK PLASTIC ALL OVER THE GROUND. WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD, I FOUND THAT ONLY HALF MY FAN WAS ATTACHED. THE OTHER HALF APPARENTLY BROKE OFF AND BLEW THREW MY RADIATOR. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FAN, MOTOR, RADIATOR, THE FAN SHROUD AND COOLANT. THE GARAGE SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WITH NO WARNING SIGNS. THE CAR IS PAMPERED AND MAINTAINED WELL. *JB

WAS STOPPED AT A SERVICE STATION, WHEN I PLACED THE CAR INTO GEAR IT LURCHED BACK AS IT PASSED THROUGH REVERSE ,AND THEN WENT FORWARD AT FULL THROTTLE. THE JEEP CANNOT BE PUT INTO GEAR WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES DID NOT HOLD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS A FULL THROTTLE. IF I HAD NOT DRIVEN IT INTO A POLE I WOULD HAVE HIT NUMEROUS OTHER CARS. THE JEEP DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY CERTAIN THAT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR.*AK

WARPED BRAKE ROTORS . . . JEEP HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SHAME ON THEM FOR NOT REPLACING THEIR FAULTY PARTS.*AK

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN FROM HIGH OR LOW SPEEDS THE STEERING VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. *JB WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ROTORS. THE CONDITION WORSENS EVERY 3,000 MILES. *TT

VIBRATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL, FLOOR, SEAT, INSTRUMENT PANEL & FMINOR PEDAL PULSATION (BRAKE ROUGHESS) UNDER LIGHT TO MODERATE PEDAL APPLICATION. THIS CONDITION MAY BE CASUED BY THICKNESS VARIATION OF THE BRAKE ROTOR SYSTEM. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BRAKES & CALIPERS MUST BE REPLACED. I FEEL THAT ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES ON A VEHICLE SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE TO CORRECT. I CONSIDER BRAKES A LIFE/DEATH SITUATION. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM JEEP # 05-0036-02 REV. B, DATE 12/16/2002.*AK
