General Comments:

We are currently in the process of talking to the manufacturer and the Attorney General. The manufacturer is offering to put vented rotors on our vehicle and says this will fix all the problems. We are asking for reimbursement. If this was the fix, why wasn't it done several brake jobs ago. No one wanted to work with us until a letter went out. I believe this is a tactic to put us over our warranty time.

Faults:

The rotors warped at 10,000 miles.

The initial warping required a complete replacement of the front end brake assemblies.

The rotors required machining at 30,000 miles. It seems I'm not alone in this area - time for a recall?

The sensor for my check engine light went out and required replacement.

General Comments:

The rotors on the Jeep vehicles seem to be a constant problem for owners. Maybe it is time Jeep looks into their construction and the possibility of putting in a heavier-duty version to account for the heat build-up and the vehicle weight. It is very confusing why Jeep allows this problem to continue.

Faults:

Warped front brake rotors.

General Comments:

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is comfortable and a very nice looking vehicle! My only issue is with the brakes. In two instances with my Jeep the dealer has been responsible for the warping problem. The first instance was at 15,000 miles when I had the Jeep dealer rotate the tires and when I got the vehicle back the steering wheel was nearly jerked from my hands. The second instance was recently when I purchased a new set of Goodyear tires for my Jeep @38,000 miles. I got my Jeep back and again it just about jerked the steering wheel out of my hands at stops (or slowing down) on the interstate. Both of these problems occurred after the Jeep dealers' removed and re-in-stalled the wheels. Possibly an over torque problem? Neither dealer would admit it was their fault! Maybe it was just a coincidence. (Yeah, Right!)

Faults:

The only problem we've had with the Jeep is a faulty rear tire, which was replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

The Jeep is a great car that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a capable, yet comfortable SUV.

Power from the inline-six is adequate for most needs, with good low rpm pickup.

Congratulation's to Chrysler on the interior. Compared to our old 2000 Cherokee, the build quality is first rate. My only complaint is the lack of rear seat leg space for tall occupants.

If you live in the snow belt, buy this vehicle. Our Jeep has the Select-Trac system four wheel drive and it will take you through the slickest, deepest snow without a hint of complaint. I could only imagine how well it would perform with the full-time system.
