1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS FIVE TIMES AND THIS IS MY SIXTH TIME. THE DEALER REQUIRES ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPING CAUSING THE STEERING TO WOBBLE WHILE APPLYING BRAKES. I HAVE CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER WITHOUT, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. MY BRAKE ROTORS NEED REPLACEMENT ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTHS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS THE MANUFACTURER'S FAULT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.*AK

PURCHASED MY 3RD JEEP IN MAY OF 1999. IN MAY OF 2001 THE STEERING WHEEL STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. DEALER MACHINED THEM AND WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE WORK DONE. SENT A NOTE TO JEEP AND FOR CUSTOMER ACCOMODATIONS I WAS REIMBURSED 50%. MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 28,447. IN AUGUST OF 2001 AT 32,771 MILES THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO PUT NEW ROTORS ON BUT THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY THEM. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. IN MAY OF 2002 AT 45,255 THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS TOLD NO WARRANTY. AFTER ANOTHER "HEATED" DISCUSSION THEY AGREED TO WARRANTY AFTER CALLING THE REGIONAL MANAGER FOR CHRYSLER. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ANYONE OF AUTHORITY AT CHRYSLER TO DISCUSS. I HAVE FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD PROBABLY GO NOWHERE SINCE THEY DID REPLACE THE ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO A LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. *AK

BUCKLES ON SEATBELTS DO NOT RECEIVE PROPERLY. WHEN FASTENING BUCKLE THERE IS AN ALLOWANCE FOR BUCKLE TO GO INTO THE WRONG SLOT. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE. *AK *YH

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP AFTER ABOUT 8 - 9,000 MILES. I AM ON MY 5TH SET OF ROTORS AND THEY ARE WARPED NOW. THERE IS NO FIX IN SIGHT. MEGA BRAKE DUST ON FRONT WHEELS. BRAKES CONTINUALLY RUBBING AGAINST ROTORS.*

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION IN THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM. CONSUMER BELIEVES IT TO SOMEHOW BE RELATED TO THE FRONT DISC/ROTOR SYSTEM. CONSUMER THINKS THE REAR BRAKES HAVE NEEDED REPAIR EARLIER THAN NORMAL BECAUSE OF STRESS PUT ON FROM THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM. VIBRATION STARTS ABOUT EVERY 10,000 MILES AFTER A REPAIR. CONSUMER HAS REPLACED ROTORS 3 TIMES. *JG THE CALIPERS WERE DEFECTIVE SINCE THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WERE REPLACED. THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED TWICE AND WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FRONT PADS WERE RESURFACED. THE CONSUMER IS SEEKING FULL REIMBURSEMENT. *YH

FRONT BRAKE ROTOR FAILURE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 7,500 MILES. VEHICLE NOW HAS 60,000 MILES AND WE ARE ON OUR 3RD SET OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS.

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL START TO JERK FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS RIPPED FROM THE CONSUMERS HAND, THE VEHICLE THEN BEGINS TO SWERVE BACK AND FORTH, THE DEALER CAN NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *SLC

THREE SETS OF FRONT ROTORS AND THREE SETS OF BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED WITHIN 35,000 MILES OF WEAR BY DEALER BUT, PROBLEM WAS REOCCURRING.*AK CONSUMER STATES WHEN THE ROTORS WARP THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED.*JB

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE WEARING PREMATURELY. DEALER CONTACTED, HAD REPAIRED ROTORS, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK CONSUMER ADDS NOW AT 22,000 MILES IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ROTORS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 18500 MILES. *TT
