Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had begun hearing a grinding sound coming from the brakes, knew it was time to change the pads. drove vehicle to the parts store to obtain new disc brake pads to perform the repairs. while driving home felt a slight give in the brake pedal when coming to the stop, also there was the grinding present-pads were pad. when i arrived home and began to perform repairs i removed the left rear(drivers side) tire and found that the complete brake pad had been shelled out of the caliper and that all that was stopping the vehicle was the caliper piston. i wouldn't really be too concerned, although i am not sure how it was able to shell the pad completely out(not just the lining but the whole pad,backing and all), but i have a friend who has a 94 trooper and he has experienced the same trouble, just curious if this defect within the trooper of just am isolated coincidence. searched all your data bases(recalls,complaints etc..) and didn't see any similar complaints,so not really sure but thought it might bear investigation. *jb
