Air Brake Antilock Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo that has problems with the front brakes since I bought it. The vehicle has 30,725 miles on it and I have had the brakes replaced 3 times. At around 12,000 miles, the car began to vibrate, shake and pull to the left whenever I decelerated. I brought it back to the dealer and they resurfaced the brake rotors. At 30,000 miles the same things began to ocurr, except that the pulling effect was more pronounced, where I actualy had to turn the wheel to the right as I came to a stop. After reading complaints from fellow Jeep owners (model year 1999-2004) who have had the same or worse experience, I had aftermarket rotors put on my vehicle by a non-Jeep mechanic. I believe that the manufacturer is using oem rotors that are made out of inferior materials. In addition, I am reasonably sure that a class action suit has already been brought against Jeep by the mason law firm regarding this exact problem.

The front brakes on the 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee (laredo) had a heating problem that was warping the brake rotor. Jeep apparently issued a technical service bulletin to its authorized repair facilities indicating that the rotors, pads, and calipers were generating excessive heat because not enough gas was being vented off during braking. The TSB advised to replaced the rotors, pads, and calipers. When we contacted our local Jeep dealer about some vibration in the drive train during braking, we were simply told that the brake pads needed to be replaced. Further questions led us to the root of the problem, which was the topic of the TSB. Jeep claimed it was not a "problem", and they said as it was related to the brakes, it was no longer a warranty item. The owner of the dealership told me that they were seeing this problem on "a lot" of 2002's. I feel that they are not telling consumers what the problem is, they are just replacing the items, billing the consumer for the cost of the rotors, and calling it good. In my opinion, a properly manufactured system should not lead to brake rotor warping under normal operation of the vehicle. This Jeep has 26,000 miles on it, and the pads show the amount of wear I would expect at this stage. When I questioned Jeep corporate about the issue, they advised that since no recall has been issued, they see no need to cover the cost of the replacement. I believe that they are quietly replacing these brake calipers,pads, and rotors without telling the consumer, just so that no complaints are filed, and then, no recall. Brakes are a crucial safety factor in a family vehicle, and my complaint is that Jeep should stand behind their product better. This clearly is a manufacturing/design flaw, which they even recognize (thus, the TSB).

At speeds above 50 mph, when the brakes are applied, the steering starts to shake violently and the brakes are slow to work. I reported this problem to the dealer. They look at the problem and found that the front and rear brakes (rotors) were warped. They tried to grind the original ones. That did not help the problem at all. Now they are going to try and replace the front and rear rotors. I hope this works. I paid almost $30,000 for this vehicle and I feel ripped off. Not to mention all the time I have to take off work to go to the dealer to fix these problmes.
