SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPING APPROXIMATELY EVERY 10,000 MILES. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PULSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL TO ROTATE A FEW DEGREES LEFT AND RIGHT DURING BRAKING. JEEP'S WARRANTY SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES BRAKE ROTORS AFTER 12,000 MILES, LEADING ME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN OR MATERIAL PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ROTORS. ROTORS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THE BRAKE PADS. *NLM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
THE ROTORS ARE WARPED ON MY JEEP AFTER LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECT THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF. TOO BAD THEY WON'T ADMIT IT. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE BECOME A RECALL. *NLM

FRONT END OF VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. DRIVER MUST COME TO A NEARLY COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY, EQUIPMENT
WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE I HAD SMALL OBJECTS FALL OFF MY CENTER ARM REST AND HIT MY GEN 3 SEAT BELT LATCH CAUSING IT TO OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT JEEP HAS UPGRADED TO THE GEN 4 LATCH. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? EVERY DAY SEEMS TO BRING A NEW STORY OF ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT INVOLVING A DAIMLER CHRYSLER PRODUCT WITH A FAULTY SEAT BELT LATCH. *JB
