When driving and braking under any conditions brake pedal pulsates which results in extended stopping distance. Factory defective pads, calipers, and rotors caused excessive vibration, shudder and pulsation while braking. Chrysler issued a TSB with a replacement kit no better than the oem. Consumer was forced to order aftermarket brakes and pads to correct the problem. Consumer filed suit against Chrysler.
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.
