| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 20,000 miles my jeep cherokee shuttered when braking at highway speeds. it was so violent it almost threw my jeep into the dividing wall. i took this to my dealer and was told it was a $700 repair to replace my rotors and break pads. this is covered under a jeep service bulletin but was not a recall. jeep knew before my vehicle rolled off the assembly line that the brake rotors warped under conditions of high heat or the use of salt on the highways. this is due to the composite metal of the rotor. i then took my vehicle to my regular mechanic and had the rotors replace with chrysler parts. once again i am experiencing the vibration at 54,000. i have been told the same thing. i am now keeping a collection of warped jeep rotors in hope that eventually they will be held accountable for this problem. *jb |
