I BOUGHT MY JEEP NEW IN JULY, 2001. WITHIN HE 3 YEARS OF OWNING IT, IT IS NOW IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR ITS 5TH TIME BEING SERVICED FOR BRAKE FAILURE. OUT OF THOSE 5 TIMES, IT IS NOW HAVING ITS 3RD SET OF ROTORS. I HAVE SPENT AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF PERSONAL TIME AND MONEY IN HAVING THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED AND WILL BE SEEKING RESOLUTION BOTH FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND MICHIGAN STATE LEMON LAW IF NECESSARY. DEALER STATES THAT MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ONCE OUTSIDE OF STANDARD WARRANTY. I FEEL THE BRAKES ARE UNSAFE AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED.*AK

MY 2001 GRAND CHEROKEE IS EXPERIENCING A SEVERE VIBRATION PROBLEMS WHEN BRAKING. I'VE CONTACTED THE NW JEEP DEALERSHIP IN BEAVERTON OREGON AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THIS PROBLEM IS NOT TAKEN CARE BY THE JEEP CORPORATION. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN INHERIT DEFECT TO THE CAR SINCE I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM FIXED A YEAR AGO AND NOW THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE SINCE IT IS NOT UNDER WARANTEE ANY LONGER. I'VE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL JEEP OWNER ON THE SIMILAR VINTAGE VEHICLE AND THEY ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE THE JEEP CORPOARTION TO PUT THE VEHICLE AS A RECALL ITEM. *AK

ROTORS WARPED BETWEEN 16000 - 18000 MILES. DEALER DAVIS-MOORE REPLACED FRONT ROTORS, CALIPERS AND PADS. RESURFACED REAR ROTORS AND REPLACED REAR PADS. NO CHARGE. ROTORS WARPED AGAIN AT 34K MILES. THIS TIME DEALER CHARGED ME $170 TO TURN ALL FOUR ROTORS. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ROTORS AND THAT THE TURNING IS NOT A PERMANANT FIX. THERE IS A MATERIAL OR SYSTEM PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. PLEASE LOOK INTO. MV .*AK

WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. AFTER TRYING NUMEROUS TIMES CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

DEALER REPLACED AT 10,000 MILES THE FRONTS ROTORS AND PADS. AT 30,000 MILES THE FRONT ROTORS/PADS, AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. AT 46,000 MILES THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS WERE RESURFACED AND THE PADS WERE REPLACED. *AK *NM

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE IN 2 LOCATIONS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE UNSTABLE AND MAKE ROCKING MOTIONS WHILE TURNING AND STOPPING.

MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ONCE AGAIN BURNED UP THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD ONLY 10,507 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP "MACHINED" THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. WITHIN 6 MONTHS THE PROBLEM WAS BACK AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. I NOW HAVE 38000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND TODAY WAS INFORMED THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKE ROTORS ARE SHOT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT APPEARS I'M NOT THE ONLY VICTIM OF THIS DEBACLE. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO SOMEONE I CAN TRUST AND I WILL HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED. I INTEND TO PURSUE THIS MATTER AS I FEEL I HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF AND SO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. THIS GRAND CHEROKEE IS AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE AND I FIND IT DISGRACEFUL THAT CHRYLSER HAS SUCEEDED IN IGNORING THE PROBLEM AND IGNORING THE PEOPLE WHO PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE LOSS OF LIFE TO GET ANYONE TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER??? PLEASE TELL ME, WHAT DO WE DO NOW???

HAVE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH MY 2001 GRAND CHEROKEE WHERE VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPENS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CALIPERS AND ROTORS AT 13,000 MILES PER A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER. I HAD SAME ISSUE AGAIN AT 19,000 MILES, ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN. I AM HAVING SAME ISSUE NOW AT 26,000 MILES AND THE DEALER STATED THAT ALTHOUGH THIS IS RECURRING ISSUE KNOWN TO THEM AND CHRYSLER, "I AM ON MY OWN" AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ROTORS AGAIN. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY AS THIS IS THE VEHICLE USED TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND BACK AND I DO NOT WANT TO RISK AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CONSUMER CENTER AND THEY STATED THAT BRAKES ARE ONLY COVERED UNTIL 12,000 AND UNLESS A RECALL WAS ISSUED, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME. I FEEL THAT IT IS NOT REASONABLE TO HAVE TO HAVE THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS REPLACED OR ADJUSTED EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING THAT OCCURS FROM THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.*AK
