So far it's running great except I have noticed the warped rotors now and I guess those have to be replaced. I need to determine which rotor is warped and what the repair procedure will be. I can probably do most of the work myself. I got the car used (I am the 2nd owner) and it was in great shape, so I don't mind putting in the maintenance. Mileage isn't great vs. what I am used to; however, it's a Jeep :)

General Comments:

Very comfortable and it has some good response and pick-up. I think the car looks great too. If you are trying to demonstrate to people that you are thrifty, don't show up in this car.

If the brakes were great, I would say this car is a 9 out of 10. but with the brakes warped it makes the car shimmy when braking under high speeds. that's not good.

I love my Jeep. The only problem that I have with it is that I have to replace the rotors and calipers every 12-15,000 miles. My dealer has been more than helpful. They have replaced the rotors and calipers five times for me. It has cot me only $50.00 each time, being covered by the extended warranty. Jeeps admits that there is a problem, but they are not will to fix it. My dealer has told me that if I replace the rotors and calipers with Napa's aftermarket high perfomance the calipers or rotors that my problem would be fixed. Now that my car is out of warranty, Chrysler will not replace the rotors or calipers anymore. I guess that I will take Chrysler to Small Calims Court.

20,000 Miles - replaced rotors and brakes. The rotors were warped. It was still under warranty, so the dealer offered to "split" the cost with me.

40,000 - replaced rotors and brakes. The rotors were warped again. Again, the dealer offered to "split' the cost. I asked what Jeep or Chrysler planned to do about it. The response I got was that it was a known issue. My thoughts (vocalized at the time) are, if it is a known issue, do something about it. Angry customers make noise.

60,000 - rotors were warped again. I don't like this trend and voice my very vocal opinion again. This time I am told that I will have to pay the full cost of the rotors. I asked them to at least just rotate the rotors. Their response, "we can't do that". Took the car elsewhere and had them rotated.

72,000 - it happens again. Rotors are warped and the brake lights don't work. They want to change brakes and rotors. They call back later in the day with the caliper issue, saying the new calipers will ease the problem. I'm going to pick up the vehicle in an hour or so.

General Comments:

I am so tired of barking at the service department of the dealership. I have voiced my anger many times over. It seems to fall on deaf ears. You would think with this many complaints, the dealerships would unite and force Jeep to come up with a solution that does not drive their customers into the showroom of another manufacturer the next time around.

5-Star rating my ***!
