I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT ROTORS AT 35,000 - CHRYSLER SAID IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND WOULDN'T FIX THEM. THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A SEAL ON THE GAS TANK. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE AT LEAST 4 OR 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FIXED. A $2.00 WIRE BROKE INSIDE THE FRONT DOOR FOR THE FRONT SPEAKER AT 43,000 MILES AND THEY CHARGED ME $200.00 TO FIX IT. THE SALESMAN SOLD ME A CONVENIENCE PACKAGE THAT WAS PURPORTED AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WAS ACTUALLY A TOWING AND RENTAL CAR PACKAGE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THERE APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEMS ON MANY OF THE JEEP CHEROKEE MODELS. I OWN A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND PADS ON IT TWICE BEFORE 25,000 MILES. THE BRAKES PULSATE AND WHEN SITTING AT A STREET LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE DEPRESSED, IT FEELS AS IF SOMEONE HAS HIT ME IN THE REAR END. THE VEHICLE MOVES WHILE THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. I HAVE READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES AND DAIMLER-CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT ON THEIR JEEPS. *JB
