SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE AT 11K MILES, BROUGHT JEEP IN FOR 12K MILE SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I PAID FOR THE NEW BREAKE AND THE GRINDING NOISE STILL IS THERE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR JEEP? 12000 MILES IS TOO SHORT OF A TIME TO CHANGE THE BREAKS ON A CAR THAT WAS EXPRESSWAY DRIVEN ONLY ON THE WEEKENDS...

#712625October 1, 1999
STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
PULLED ON TO HIGHWAY FROM DRIVEWAY PROCEED ABOUT 1 BLOCK WHEN THE HOOD FLEW VOILENTLY OPEN. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND A TRUCK AND 2 AUTOS BEHIND ME I GOT THE JEEP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. THE SAFETY LATCH AND THE REGULAR LATCH FAILED. I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT A PROBLEM AND THEREFORE THE MANUFACTER IS NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY RESPONISIBLITY FOR THE $1067 BODY SHOP ESTIMATE OR MY FRAYED NERVES. I FOUND TWO OR 3 OTHER HOOD PROBLEMS LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE BUT CAN TELL IF THEY ARE SIMILAR. THANKS FOR ANY LIGHT YOU CAN SHED ON THIS PROBLEM. I AM LEFT WITH THE FEELING FROM THE JEEP PEOPLE THAT I DID SOMETHING WRONG AND THEY DON'T CARE TO HELP. THE SAFETY LATCH NEVER CAUGHT OR AT LEAST IT DIDN'T HOLD , AND THERE WAS NOT EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE TO EITHER LATCH.
