SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I READ THROUGH EVERY SINGLE COMPLAINT ON HERE REGARDING JEEP ROTORS, AS I TOO AM IN THIS BATTLE WITH FAULTY BRAKES. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL THE 2000'S AND UPGRADE TO BETTER ROTORS AND PADS? IS IT BECAUSE WE ARE ALL CHECKING "NO" TO THE INJURIES AND FATALITIES CATEGORIES? OH I KNOW MAYBE WHEN SOMEONE YOUNG CELEBRITY DIES OR SOME CHRYSLER EXECUTIVE'S WIFE OR CHILD. I'M TIRED OF BEING TOLD ITS THE DRIVER BRAKING HABITS. THIS IS ONLY THE 8TH CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED FROM AGE 18 TO NOW 45. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CARS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I TEND TO KEEP CARS FOR A LONG TIME AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ROTORS WARPING BEFORE. *TS *NLM ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS****761979

BRAKE ROTORS ON ALL 4 WHEELS PREMATURELY WARP CAUSING HEAVY SHIMMY AND LURCHING DURING BRAKING. ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY DEALER AT 12,000 MILES. NOW REPLACEMENT ROTORS ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT WORSE. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN PRIMARILY ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.
