Vehicle feels like it's riding while the parking brake (?) is engaged, at times only, not always. There just seems to be a sort of resistance noticed. It's been going on for about a year now and, although I've been telling my husband of it during this entire time, he just noticed the other day that, while en-route to a nearby location, upon arrival, the rear passenger-side tire area was smoking a bit. He said it was coming from the brake pads (?), and he got a cup of water and poured it on the area, to which it produced a bit more smoke, of course. Now I'm certain of the resistance and I'm concerned that the brakes will wear down prematurely and won't be working when I desperately need them and have my children in the vehicle with me, which is always.

When applying brakes at speeds of around 30 mph or more the vehicle's front end shims violently. The vehicle shakes as the front wheels are seen oscillations from right to left, which results in a lost of steering. The dealer attributes this to warped rotors. While warped rotors may cause a braking issue they should not cause oscillations in the front wheels. Replacing the rotors and pads might temporarily improve the performance it will not correct the underlying problem or design flaw that causes the oscillations in the steering of the front wheels.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee experienced problems with the rotor and pads. The dealer replaced the rotors and pads at 20000 miles and 29000 at 35000 the rotors had to be resurfaced. At 37000 the rotors had to be replaced again. Now at 39000 miles the brakes are becoming a problem again.

Vehicle shook while driving, and a loud squeaking noise was heard coming from the rear of the vehicle when brakes were applied. Driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and took it to the dealer, and mechanic determined that left and right front and rear brake pads/rotors needed to be replaced.

While driving at different speeds and making slight turns the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee will vibrate and bounce. The steering wheel will begin to pull and the front right tire feels like it is coming off or bouncing. I have taken it to the dealer and three independent shops for this problem over a 2 year period. All of have felt the problem and have no idea where it is coming from. I have so far replaced the entire front brake system, all front bushings, shocks, tires, front u bolts, and had the whole system inspected by at least 10 different mechanics. Also the brakes feel like they are riding on a warped rotor. When breaking the pedal pushes back at the driver and makes it very difficult to control the breaking. This problem has also been looked at by the dealer and the aforementioned shops. To date no solution has been found and the problem keeps getting worse. I fear that either of these problems can cause a major failure leading to injury or death.

2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee into service department with approx. 18,000 miles. It went in for scheduled maintenance. I also stated that there was a chirping noise in the passenger door area. After inspection, the service department informed me that the brake pads and brake rotors would have to be replaced. If this is true, it indicates to me that there is a manufacturing problem or a brake problem. Either way, I, as a consumer, do not feel responsible for the dealership wanting me to pay to repair the vehicle. The vehicle remains to sit at the deralership.

Third time in as many years the brakes (pads and rotors) have had to be replaced. Violent pulsing on brake pedal, at highway speeds steering wheel shakes violently because of front brakes pulsing. Major safety hazard to occupants and those in other vehicles.

The vehicle's front brakes have been replaced five times in under 24000 miles. The consumer was informed that Chrysler had no fix for the problem. The consumer requested a full refund for the money he spent on repairs. The front brake rotors were warped and the pads were low.

Brakes warp and car shakes and shimmies when braking. Dealer has repaired 5 times and repair lasts approximately 2 months. This is an extreme hazard. Chrysler will do nothing. The NHTSA has done nothing in spite of hundreds of complaints on their web site. I am sure there are thousands more that have not been reported on this site. The car is a safety risk. These cars should be recalled and the brakes totally replaced at Chrysler's expense. Why has nothing been done?.

Bought Jeep Grand Cherokee sept 2002 new in June 2003 rotors warped and had to be replaced 10000 miles on auto the brake pads were fine. Nov 2004 rotors are warped again this is a known problem with chrysuler and they will not fix the problem. Again the pads are fine. They are passing this defected rotor on the consumer I would like to know what are my options if I even have any to get this problem fixed. Thank you.

Front brake rotors and pads replaced 4 times in 40,000miles. Chrysler even replaced them and front calipers the first time. The last time they were replacd was a month before the accident. For the 4th time, steering wheel and pedal vibrate when braking suddenly. I lost control and rolled the 2000 Grand Cherokee into a guard rail.

Warped brakes on 2004 Grand Cherokee. Eas told by dealer it was due to the fact that I do lots of city driving. After doing some research this is a common problem in Grand Cherokees. I even had an associate that sold his for similar problem. While braking on highway the car violently shakes and is dangerous. This is the vehicle I transport my child in and it is not a responsible feeling I get when I put her in the car. Chrylser needs to address this issue with their customers. Looking at research I did this problem goes back at least 8 years.

While driving,the driver noticed that the vehicle would vibrate uncontrollably without warning. The driver was able to drive it to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the brake pads,and rotor needed to be replaced due to corrosion. Consumer informed mechanic that this problem happened on more than one occasion.

While applying the brakes, the pedal went to the floor and the vehicle shook uncontrollably. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic determined that the pads and rotors needed to be replaced. Consumer informed the dealer that this problem occurred more than once, and problem had not resolved. Problem still exists. There was an oil leak found at the left rear axle seal. Updated 02/20/07.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with defective brake rotors. Customer states that she has had the brakes repaired and replaced on 2 separate occasions. Consumer wants reimbursement for the repairs.

The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 40 mph, the brake pedal and steering wheel pulsated when the brakes were applied. The rotors were previously regrounded at the dealer, however, the failure continued. The dealer replaced the brake pads and rotors. The failure mileage was 14,131 and current mileage is 32,899. Updated 01-15-08. Updated 12/12/07.

Brake pad and rotor failure after one year and four months of vehicle service. After further research, it has been determined that this is a known problem with the Jeep Grand Cherokee - all years (internet based research) the manufacturer was contacted and they said that these parts (brakes and rotors) are only warranteed for one year or 12k miles. Most other parts are warranteed for 3 years and 36k miles. This problem is known by the manufactuer (Chrysler) and they have had this safety problem for years of production with this model. Both the dealership and the manufactuer refuse to repair the vehicle under warranty. Due to this known safety issue by Chrysler and their greatly reduced warranty coverage on just these items (which indicates their knowledge of the problem) it is determined that a safety issue exists that could have or already has caused injury to others.

Dealer replaced at 14,000 miles the front rotors and pads. At 20,000 miles fronts rotors were resurfaced, and at 26,000 miles rotors were resurfaced once again.

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo 6cyl. At approx 27,000 I experienced a vibration/pulsation when the brakes were applied. I took it into the dealer for diagnosis and was informed that the front pads were worn out and the rotors were out of round and needed turning. I had that work performed with dismay that every 27,000 miles that would need to be done. It is now 48,000 miles (21,000 later) and the same problem has occurred. According to Jeep a revised brake caliper design has been built to correct the problem. As of this last changing (using the new rotors and calipers per TSB 05-003-02b) I will have spent $700 in less than 2 years on brakes that should not have worn out once inl 50,000. I was informed that this replacement was not covered under warranty, but being that it is premature failure of a poor design, I believe that it should be.

The steering wheel vibrates horribly and the whole vehicle pulsates forward and back whenever you try to stop. We have replaced the rotors/pads five times since purchasing the Jeep new in 2003. It started at 15,054 (Aug "04), then 24,038 (class action suit), 34,700 (turned), 36,000, and now again at 46,000(sept "09). Well over $1000 into repairs and we still don't feel the vehicle is any safer or make the gc any more pleasant to drive. We don't have much faith in nhsta doing anything about it after reading all the other complaints but thought we would add to the issue. Aren't reliable brakes considered something of a safety issue? there are pages and pages of complaints on the internet and Chrysler chooses to do nothing. Maybe they should have just gone bankrupt since they can't build a reliable vehicle. It seems to us a there should be a recall to repair the faulty brakes, especially after a class action suit was issued in 2006.

Had front brakes serviced may 2003 new rotors, pads. August 2004 had to have new calipers, pads and rotors resurfised. Because calipers failed and almost started tire on fire. Told there is a service bulliten ref putting on different calipers.

The consumer felt that the problem had started when the vehicle was purchased and had only gotten worse. The problem first started on August of 2004. When the consumer applied the brakes he could feel the vehicle shake. There was a problem with the front driver and passenger side wheel brake rotors. The vehicle felt like the wheels were out of line. The consumer took it to a mechanic they cleaned the rotors and pads. The vehicle is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo.

Brakes pulsate and steering wheel shakes - dealer has repaired 4 times - vehicle only has 25,500 miles. Say manufacturing defect but will no longer repair as there has not been a recall on vehicle. Since there are so many reports of this - why has there not been a recall? there has not been a crash, but with faulty brakes, it can only be a matter of time. How can Jeep get away with this - they know and acknowledge the problem.

Dealer replaced at 11,000 miles the front rotors and pads. At 16,000 miles, the front rotors and pads were replaced. At 35,000 miles the rotors were resurfaced and the pads were replaced. At 45, 000 miles the dealership indicated they needed to replace the calipers, and install a bigger caliper. The warping front rotors caused pulsating brake pedal and an uncontrollable steering wheel.

The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving approximately 60 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle vibrated excessively when the brake pedal was depressed. The failure was continuous and occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they replaced both front brake pads under warranty. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer and independent mechanic on separate occasions for replacement of both front brake pads and rotors at the contact's expense. There has been no resolution and the vehicle has not been properly repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 12,000 and current mileage was 55,000.
