MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAD THE BRAKES & ROTORS CHANGED AT 22,000 MILES THROUGH A RECALL. NOW, AT 55,000 MILES THEY BOTH NEED TO BE DONE AGAIN. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE TYPICAL WEAR AND TEAR AS I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS AFTER SUCH A SHORT DISTANCE. DEALERSHIP BLAMES IT ON DRIVING TECHNIQUES, BUT LIKE I SAID, I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO THIS WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED.*AK
