Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The front brake rotors became warped and needed to be replaced at only 23000 miles. the rotors warped because of heat build up during braking,and the dealer replaced them with vented rotors to avoid this in the future. pads and all other brake components were fine. i have learned of several other jeep gr cher owners who experienced the same problem, and i believe that a car of this size should have had vented rotors installed at the time it was assembled. *nm
