1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

1999 JEEP BRAKE ROTORS- SHAKING WHILE BRAKING. PURCHASED JEEP WITH 45,000 MILE AND THEY RESURFACED THEM BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. KNOW AT 60000 MILE IT SHAKES AGAIN PULLING LIKE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED. IT IS VERY SERIOUS SHAKING AND IF NOT PREPARED COULD AND PROBABLY HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS. TOOK JEEP IN FOR UNRELATED SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT JEEP HAS COME OUT WITH NEW ROTORS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $407.00 DOUBLE WHAT REGULAR ROTOR WOULD COST?? I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE CAN HELP EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCT IF THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM? THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THIS OTHER WISE WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO SELL ME ANOTHER PRODUCT TO FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I HAVE HEARD AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT JEEPS AND THE BRAKE ROTOR PROBLEMS KNOW AFTER CHECKING THIS OFFICE'S COMPLAINT FILES. SOME ONE PLEASE POINT ME TO WHOM I SHOULD TALK TO. I AM IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT FIELD AND HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SHAKE WHILE BRAKING LIKE THIS BEFORE IS JEEP NOT BACKING IT'S VEHICLES?? *NLM

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OURSELVES, I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND WOULD LIKE THE SEAT BELTS REPLACED DUE TO THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES AND INJURIES RELATED TO THE GENERATION 3 UNLATCHING PROBLEMS. I HAVE ONLY ONE CHILD, A 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND WOULD BE DEVASTATED IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO HER THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. WE SPENT $20,000 ON THIS VEHICLE AND EXPECT IT TO PROTECT OUR FAMILY. *JB

DURING FOUR YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I HAVE HAD 5 REPLACEMENTS OF ROTORS. CAUSING SERIOUS VIBRATIONS OF THE WHEELS, STEERING AND THE ENTIRE AUTO. *NLM

I KNOW YOU DON'T CARE AND WILL DO NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY DEFECT, BUT JUST SO I CAN SAY THAT I TOLD YOU. THE BRAKE ROTORS FOR THE 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO ARE NO GOOD AND WARP WITHIN 3 TO 6,000 MILES. THE OPERATORS AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ARE PUT IN DANGER WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES OUT OF CONTROL AS THE WHEEL IS PULLED FROM YOUR HANDS AND SWERVES AS THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. THE DEALERS DO NOT OFFER ANY PERMANENT REPAIRS AND CHARGE THE CUSTOMER TO TURN THE ROTORS AGAIN AND AGAIN. WITH EACH EPISODE OTHERS ARE PUT IN DANGER, AGAIN AND AGAIN. I GUESS SOMEDAY WE'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE NHTSA WITH A JAPANESE GROUP TOO, BECAUSE YOU ARE ABOUT AS EFFECTIVE AS THE AMERICAN AUTO MFGRS IN CAUSING AN IMPROVEMENT. *NLM
