Three problems related to brake disc caliper have been reported for the 2001 Jeep Laredo. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Frontend of vehicle shimmies when brakes are applied, steering of vehicle is impaired. Dealership states that the brakes are a design flaw and are "recommended to be replaced but not recalled" . Cost of replacement is $800. 00 for new brakes system package from Jeep/Chrysler. Also steel brake lines are rusted/rotted.
Multiple failures with my 2001 Jeep grand cherokee just beyond the 3/36 warranty. The vehicle now has 55,000 miles: 1. Vehicle required a complete front brake overhaul: new pads, rotors, calipers. Also, . Hood props failed; 3. Water pump failed, window regulator failed, and rear hatch props beginning to fail these incidents all occurred between 36,000 and 55,000 miles (2004-2005). Eep takes no responsibility for anything beyond 36,000 miles. They offer extremely poor customer service at the corporate office. I strongly recommed against purchasing Jeep products.
Heavily pulsating brakes with light to medium pressure on brakes. Defect is apparently caused by daimlerchrysler using defective calipers on front disc brake system. Serious safety problem.
