SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE ROTORS AND PADS WERE DAMAGED FROM OVER HEATING. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF OTHERS HAS HAD. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. I DO NOT FEEL BRAKES SHOULD FAIL IN THIS SHORT OF TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO THE SHOP ONCE AT 12,000 MILES BECAUSE EVERY TIME I PUT ON THE BRAKES ABOVE 45 MPH THE TRUCK WOULD SHUDDER DRASTICALLY. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND IT WAS FINE FOR 3OOO OR 4OOO MORE BUT IT HAS CONTINUED AGAIN. I ACTUALLY GOT A NOTE LEFT ON MY WINDSHIELD GIVING ME YOU WEB ADDRESS FROM ANOTHER JEEP OWNER REGARDING THEIR SAME COMPLAINT. IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE METAL USED FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM IF I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN EVERY 4K MILES. GOD FORBID THAT THEY SHOULD EVER COMPLETELY FAIL. *AK
