SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
FRONT ROTORS RECALLED AND REPLACED BY JEEP, REPLACED ROTORS WARPED AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND 5,000 MILES. DEALER SAYS ROTORS WARPED AND REQUIRE RESURFACING. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY WARRANTY OF THEIR OWN REPLACEMENT PARTS AFTER THIS SHORT PERIOD, CLAIMING THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD WARRANTY THEIR REPLACEMNT PARTS ON A RECALL OF A FAILED BRAKE COMPONENT, AT LEAST FOR 12 MONTHS.*AK
