I had to replace my front rotors at 35,000 - Chrysler said it's normal wear and tear and wouldn't fix them. There was a problem with a seal on the gas tank. I brought it in for service at least 4 or 5 times before it was fixed. A $2. 00 wire broke inside the front door for the front speaker at 43,000 miles and they charged me $200. 00 to fix it. The salesman sold me a convenience package that was purported as an extended warranty, but was actually a towing and rental car package.

There is either a design or manufacturing defect in the brake rotors/calipers of the recent Jeep grand Cherokee. The brake rotors have been replaced on three separate occasions in the first 18 months (July 2003, Dec. 2003, June 2004), and I have just been informed by the dealer, on February 10, 2005, that the brake pads are thin and the front rotors are rusted and warped and need replacement again. This will be the fourth time, and my car presently has 28,000 miles on it. It is a 2003 Jeep grand Cherokee that I purchased in October 2002 from central auto group in norwood, massachusetts. The warranty does not cover future repairs, and I have been told by the manufacturer, daimler Chrysler that there is nothing it can do but that I will need to have the rotors replaced at my own cost. The central auto group service manager told me that the calipers and brakes had been re-designed a few years ago. I also understand many other drivers have had similar issues and that Chrysler issued a technical service bulletin on June 10, 2002 regarding this issue.

Currently, at 32,000 miles the failure recurred, but the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer, dealership, and other Jeep owners informed me that this was a design flaw that occurred in the earlier and some later model Jeeps, but has been modified in 2005 model. The consumer stated that the vehicle was taken in for repair three times while under warranty. The engine light was on for one week. The low coolant light comes on when the vehicle is started (cold) and goes off when the vehicle is warm.

The front disc brake rotors has serere corrosion, causing the wear surface too separate from the hub. This corrosion didn't happen over night but over a long period of time. Recalls have occur in other states, this state should have been included also.
