Brake Electric Antilock Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 1

My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee is having problems like many other people. The low coolant light constantly comes on and I have to add coolant weekly, although there is no visible leak. Mechanics have told me they cannot find the problem until this past week when a mechanic told me the coolant was leaking into my engine and mixing with my oil. The mechanic estimated I will need a completely new engine within a few months since the coolant-oil mixture has been running through my engine for some time now. The mechanic stated that the engine will stop running in the very near future. My rear left brake and tail light goes out when I step on the brakes. I have had several issues with the rotors and finally had the mechanic replace them with a different kind.

I have to be extremely careful when braking as the brake pedal goes too far down and is too close to the accelerator and it is very easy to push on the accelerator while braking. I have nearly ran into other vehicles or even people in a crosswalk while pushing on the brake. Dealer says there are no TSB's or any internal information regarding this problem. Because I am aware ofthe problem I am very careful, but there are times when you just push on the brake and my foot is also hitting the accelerator.

I purchased a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2005 from a used car dealer in albuquerque. At that time no recalls or repairs of any safety related defects were revealed to me. I received a recall in novenber 2006 for cooling fan that I had already had done . Daimler/Chrysler reimbursed me for some of the repairs done. On 4-17-07 I was north bound on unser approaching ladera, traffic was stopped at the red light. I was traveling the speed limit which was posted at 35 mph. I pressed on the brake pedal to begin slowing down and nothing happened. I then slammed my foot down on the pedal it went to the floor and I rear ended a large pickup at the intersection. The air bags did not deploy, and I did not think the seat belt engaged untill I hit the steering wheel with my sternum. My injuries were minor, and I elt the injuries of the person I hit were also minor. The reason I believed thiswas so because I was knocked unconsicience. After some advice from an attourney I checked online for any safty related recalls on the vehicle. I was not surprised to find many. Recall # 200002004 was a seat belt recall, recall # 20060313 was a brake system recall, and recall # 19991202 was a air bag recall. There were many more I am sure you were aware off. My concern was for anybody else thatwas driving one of these vehicles with their families in the car. If my wife or daughter had been in the vehicle with me I am sure their injuries would have been more severe. Please look into this vehicle, it was not safe.

Defective brakes on Jeep Grand Cherokee. Brake rotors apparently warp from heat. My wife owns a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and we have had to replace the brakes three times already. There are many owners of Grand Cherokees that have had similar problems with brakes. Chrysler refuses to admit there is a problem, and refuses to address this problem even when a vehicle is under warranty. Dealers are blaming drivers for the problem.

When applying the brakes, the brake pedal would pumped up and down and the steering wheel would shimmy up and down and to the left and right. The higher the speed the worse the problem. When I brought it to the dealership I insisted that the service manager take a ride with me. He only had to drive it a short distance before he knew exactly what the problem was. He said the rotors were warped. I asked if that was normal, especially with such low mileage. He told me that it was an ongoing problem that Chrysler new about. When the rotors heated up they were not cooling down properly due to a defect which in turn causes the rotors to warp. He said they instructed to tell owners that the problem was due to wear and tear and that it was not covered by the warranty, therefore passing the expense on to the customer. He also told me that if the customer complained to Chrysler, and only then, would Chrysler fix the problem at no charge and would put the repairs under a "good will warranty". The service manager said he would not put me through the trouble and automatically put it under the "good will warranty". Especially since I have had numerouse other problems with the Jeep since the first day I drove it off the lot. I've had the check engine light come on 4 times. Each time it was a different deffective part. I've also had electrical problems which caused the dome lights to flash on and off, all sorts of beeping noises and numerous other distractions in the interior. It's also left me stranded on the new jersey turnpike.

While my daughter was driving our 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee on slippery roads she slid into an intersection and was hit by another vehicle. My daughter claimed she was going slowly and when the brakes were applied felt a shudder and the car did not stop. To check her story we took the car to a brake shop. They told us the brakes were defective. They could tell by the very uneven wear. 75% warn on 1 side of both front brakes. 25% wear on the other side .

The entire vehicle shutters violently when the brakes are depressed at speeds in excess of 30mph. Brakes have been fixed(?) several times but it only lasts ~5,000 to 7,000miles before it starts up again. It is particularly dangerous when exiting the freeway when the vehicle shakes badly and the steering wheel jolts side to side. Dealer contacted and state it will be ~$600 dollars in parts/labor. This is a known problem with the Jeeps from 1999 to June of 2002 according to the dealer and I've read TSB's referring to the issue yet there is still no recall.
