Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Pulsating of brakes when applied to come to a stop. asked dealership 2x to check. first time was told they were fine, second time they took out for a test drive and experienced the pulsing. inspected the brake system and found that all 4 rotors were not worn down, but were warped. they explained that it was most likely caused by being heated up by frequently stopping short. i have been driving for 30 years and have had many vehicles and never an issue with replacing rotors after 2 years, not due to the life of the rotor, but warping. i have been in the same job for 23 years and driving the same roads. i do not frequently stop short or ride my brakes. if anything i utilize the feature of down shifting as not to apply the brakes as often. i was told that when i bought this vehicle there should not be any issues because it was a first model because it was based on the jeep grand cherokee. i have noticed that there was a class action suit regarding the brakes on that model. *tr |
