1 Air Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2005

I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 68,000 miles and just had the brakes fixed again for the 6th time. My dealer keeps telling me the parts are inferior and I can expect to replace the brakes after 6-7000 miles. I feel this is excessive and Jeep should be able to develope a material that will help the brakes last longer. Other makes of cars never have the problem that Jeep does. I also feel this could be very dangerous since not every one can afford to replace the brakes every 7,000 miles. I can see by the internet that there are thousands of complaints, can't you do something before this is a fire, property damage or crash?.
