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.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

My 2002 Grand Cherokee is in the shop again for brakes. They now tell me that I need the third set of rotors in under 25,000 miles... this set lasted less than 10,000...this is my THIRD and LAST Jeep. There is an obvious design defect or OEM part problem. This has been brought to Jeeps attention, but they don't seem to care.
