I was in stop-and-go commute traffic traveling approximately 15 mph. Traffic started moving a little faster when the car in front of me braked hard, I pressed hard on the brake pedal and my Jeep lurched forward before braking hitting the car in front of me. The road was dry and there were no skid marks. The way the Jeep lurched forward it felt like the brake pads were worn out or the rotors were warped or the shocks were faulty. We had bought the Jeep Liberty new less than one year earlier. I was able to drive the Jeep home. That was a Friday and by Monday my stomach became so distended I could barely move. I had been in contact with kaiser advice nurses throughout the weekend and that Monday I was hospitalized. 2 weeks in the hospital resulted in the first of 3 surgeries that changed my life and my families life permanently. Surgery 1 was an illeostomy in July 2007, surgery 2 was j-pouch surgery in December 2007. Surgery 3 was abdominal reconstruction surgery in September 2013. I have permanent nerve damage in my stomach, painful scar tissues throughout my upper torso, a degenerating disc in my lower back and ongoing abdominal and hip pain. The physical and emotional toll this has had on my family is tremendous. My 2006 Jeep Liberty has been determined to be a lemon by the state of California.
Having approx. 31,000 miles on my vehicle, I was already hearing what I thought was the noise maker on my brakes. I took the vehicle into pepboys to find out it was not the noise maker. The factory brakes were not wearing correctly. I still have 50% left on the front and 75% on the back. I should not have to replace my brakes at only 31,000 miles. The brake pads are uneven and should were evenly.
