Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After purchasing the vehile, it was driven for roughtly 3,000 miles before the problem happened. i took it to jeep to have it looked at and they said that the rotors were warped and needed to be resurfaced. after it was fixed and driven it was fine until about another 3000 miles and the problem occured again, so it took it to jeep to complain and they just resurfaced the rotors and ignored my compliants. and again it is still recurring. when you go to slow down at any speed the car violently shakes b/c of the warped rotors and it makes it hard to slow down, especailly at high speeds. this problem really increases the stopping time necessary to slow the car. if i had to make a quick stop it would be very hard. it is obviously a malfunction and jeep is ignoring the problem. i've talked to some people and they say it is either the rotors they give are bad or they were mounted at the plant incorrectly which cause the rotors to warp. it is not my driving which jeep likes to blame it on, and i'm sure many other people get the same response from them. mr
