Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We experienced extreme pulsing and jerking while applying our brakes. this problem manifested at about 10,000 miles. we had the problem repaired (dealer said the rotors were warped). this problem is now occurring aging at 20,000 miles. the pulsing is extreme and we are not confident in the safety of our brakes. we are now forced to pay again to have this repaired. jeep issued a tsb but not a recall - this is a very common problem and directly relates to the safety of their vehicle. they should issue a recall and fix the problem for everyone. a class action lawsuit has been filed as this problem is so prevalent yet jeep refuses to take responsibility. *jb
