I usually drive back roads under 50 miles per hour. My husband had taken my 2001 Jeep Cherokee sport on the interstate and a car switched lanes infront of us causing him to have to brake quickly. The front of my car shook so hard we almost went into a jersey wall. Until that vehicle was under 40 miles per hour the front end was shaking so violently it was barely controlable. If I would have been driving it may very well have caused a serious accident. The problem with my vehicle was covered under service bulletin 0500401. What we experienced was not minor pulsation. The front rotor was visibly warped! when I called Jeep customer service about the problem they admitted that they were aware that the front rotors would warp under conditions of high heat or high road salt use. This was not a recall nor did they offer to meet part of the cost of repair ($700). But the composite of the brake rotor has since been changed so that this problem no longer happens. We were lucky to not have a vehicle in the lane next to us and we were lucky not to have hit the jersey wall. I wanted to make you aware of this because the next person may not be so lucky.

I had the Jeep dealer replace the front rotors on my 96 Jeep Cherokee country per the recall from Chrysler. Within 20k miles the rotors were severely warped, hot spotted and had small cracks in several places on both sides of each rotor. When they were turned, "soft" spots were revealed in the metal and both rotors - even when turned down all the way down to the minimum thickness. They were deemed unsalvageable and I had to get another new set less than a year after recall replacements were installed. The incident date is approximate. I will need to find the receipts to know the exact dates. Ts.

Brake malfunction. 3 replacements in 25,000 miles.

Automatic adjusters are not sufficient in design to keep the rear brake drums adjusted properly, causing extreme pedal pulsation, and causing most braking onto front brakes, resulting in overheating and warping of the rotors.
