| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Similar to many other complaints filed with the nhtsa - while driving at highway speed applied the brakes to slow down and vehicle started to pull to right into the other lane. this caused calipers to lock up. took vehicle to dealer , again for the fourth time for this problem & had it repaired. after each repair problem would reappear. was told that this is a known issue by the dealer and the jeep calipers were not made well. dealer said (after already spending $2,000 in brkae issues) that the only fix would be to spend another $600 to put all new rotors and calipers on - that jeep had redesgined. no recall notice was given to cover this cost - although i am told jeep has a technical service bulliten on this. what recourse does the consumer have to this very common and expensive jeep issue without a recall notice!!!*ak |
