SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
VEHICLE FRONT END SHAKES WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. ROTORS ARE WARPED AND HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE BY THE DEALER, ONCE AT 5791 MILES AND AGAIN AT 14207 MILES AND NOW JEEP WANTS TO TURN THEM AGAIN AT 21500 MILES. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DEAL WITH THE MANUFACTURE MYSELF BECAUSE MY DEALER HAS BEEN TOLD BY JEEP THAT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE ROTORS, THEY WILL ONLY TURN THEM AT MY COST BECAUSE THIS IS A MAINTENANCE ITEM AND NOT IN WARRANTY EVENTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THIS WAY WHEN IT WAS NEW. ALSO THIS HAS BEEN A MONTH LONG PROCESS BECAUSE I CANNOT GET ANY ANSWERS FROM ANYONE BECAUSE THEY KEEP SAYING THEY ARE SENDING THIS TO THEIR DISTRICT MANAGER WHO WILL RETURN MY CALL BUT I HAVE NOT RECIEVED ANY CALLS SO FAR.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
CONTACTED CHRYSLER DAMILER SEVERAL TIMES, HOOD PAINT IS CHIPPED UNDER THE UNDERCOAT ON SECTION OF 2001 CAR AND CHIPPING OFF. THE SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID AND THAT I HAVE TO WASH MY VEHICLE EVERY DAY. ASKED FOR THIS IN WRITING THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME AND I CONTACTED DISTRICT MANAGER SEVERAL TIMES HE WOULD NOT RESPOND BACK. THIS IS A TRUCK AND IT IS MERCHANDISED AS SO IN THEIR PAMPHLETS. IT SAYS THIS TRUCK CAN GO IN MOUNTAINS BEACHES ECT. WHY DO I HAVE TO WASH THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY IN ORDER TO STOP CHIPPING OF PAINT. COULD THERE COULD BE DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE*AK
