Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Jeep Liberty

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the rear passenger side wheel does not disengage from the parked position; therefore, it caused the brake pad and rotor to overheat. The dealer replaced the brake pad and rotor several times; however, they were unable to diagnose the exact cause of the failure. Each time the failure recurs, the rotor and brake pad are replaced. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle is out of warranty and informed the contact that if he is unhappy with the dealer, he should go to another dealer. The fuel system was unknown. The current mileage was 46,000 and failure mileage was 45,000.

I had the 2005 Jeep Liberty in for inspection the other day. I only had 22, 700 miles on it. I was told it neeed replaceement of rear brakes, and the rotors needed to be turned. I felt that there was a defect or a problem causing this to happen.

All 4 wheel brakes werr bad, $600 bad. I never heard any squealing, pulsing, anything indicating the brakes were going, inspection people all said they seemed okay. I decided to bring it in to a non-dealer due to having 48000 on the oem pads. Pads were shot, rotors scored, etc. $600 later, all seemed okay anyone else not have any indicators of brakes going bad?.

I own a 2006 Jeep Liberty. I have two issues. First one is the rear brakes. I replaced my brake pads at 34000 miles to find my rear outer brake calipers were not making contact with the rotor on either wheel. The svc mgr at grindstaff of elizabethton, TN told me my rotors were warped. There is no way this should happen at 34000 miles. I drive 95% four lane highway miles to work - no red lights at all. You can see by looking at the rotors the outer brake pads have never made contact with the rotors. When the other six pads were replaced the outer rear brake pads were not worn one bit and the outer brake contact surface of the rotor is not worn at all. The second issue is the brake actuator solenoid. My Jeep will not come out of park when it gets extremely hot inside the vehicle without running the a/c about 10 mins. To cool the brake actuator assembly off a little. It sticks in park and will not come out. The same dealer told me they would not fix it because it's an intermittent problem even with it still under warranty (reported at 33000 miles). The service mgr at grindstaff in elizabethton, TN said they would not replace the defective parts because it was only an intermittent problem. I am very dissatisfied with the reliability of this vehicle. Both problems I have are safety issues, factory design issues and dealer warranty compliance.

: the contact stated while at the dealer for recall repair, the dealer noticed the rotors were corroded and replaced all four rotors.

2003 Jeep Liberty making a terrible grinding noise. Customer states that the grinding noise is loud and sounds like metal scraping metal. Consumer was informed that the sound was from the rear brakes. The consumer stated the rear brakes were replaced and the noise went away for a few weeks, but then it returned. An anti-squeal compound was applied to the rear brakes and again, the noise went away for a few weeks. The problem was caused by worn rotors on the rear brakes and in order for the problem to be corrected, the rear rotors and the rear park shoes needed to be replaced.

: the contact stated there was a constant grinding noise alerting the driver there was a problem with the rear brakes. The vehicle was inspected by a service dealer who determined the right rear caliper, both rotors and brake pads needed to be replaced in order to remedy in order to remedy the problem. The replacement remedied the problem on the right side, but the grinding noise is now present on the left side. The vehicle has been returned to the service dealer for inspection, but has not been repaired.

I purchased my 2002 Jeep Liberty in Dec. 05. I noticed a shimmy when depressing the brakes immediately after buying it. It had 44000 miles on it. I thought this was normal since the dealership had done a safety inspection on it before selling it to me. I noticed in mid April that the inside driver tire was almost completely worn. I took it to a local garage only to find that my lower ball joints were bad, along with the front rotors being warped beyond repair. This cost me $1100 in repairs, including the 3 new tires I purchased! my extended warranty I purchased would not cover the cost to repair. I wrote daimler Chrysler a complaint, in which they declined. I am furious after reading all the consumer complaints about ball joints failing on the liberties - even after having been fixed after the recall. A vehicle with this few miles should not have these problems!!!.

2004 Jeep Liberty. Rear brake disc. Took the vehicle to the firestone dealer, and showed them the disc plate. Rotors. They were only grooves on the outside of the plate, and the inside of the plate was smooth and clean. Called the manufacturer, and they said since vehicle had 16,000 miles on it they could not replace them unless the dealer said it was a defect. The manufacturer said consumer had to pay for the inspection as well as the repairs. Dealer would make a determination whether or not that it was a defect or not. There was not brake pad failure, it could have been a caliper failure. I had new rotors and new brake pads put in at the cost $350. 00 plus tax.

The contact stated while braking at low speeds the vehicle vibrated underneath. A special technician from the zone came out and looked at the vehicle. He stated there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Also, two different dealerships inspected the vehicle and they could not diagnose a problem. Updated 11/2905.

Premature failure of front break rotors.

I took my 2003 Jeep Liberty that I purchased November 22. 2003 in for a service checkup and with 29000 miles on the car I was told that half of the rear rotors were rusted away, and only half the brake pad was hitting the brakes. I have had many vehicles in my 52 years of life and I have never had this occur. Of course Chrysler refuses to admit that they are using an inferior metal product and will not stand behind the what I believe to be dangerous rotors. I have a file number at Chrysler which is 12412856. I had the rotors changed at my expense but I believe they are cutting corners in a very vital part of the car. I would appreciate a response.

At less than 19,000 miles (@ 50% highway) the brake rotors on three wheels are corroded and pitted. His has caused the brake pads to wear very thin. The rotor and pad on the front right wheel are ok and wearing normally.

Brake pads went out after 23,000 miles. Brakes did not make sqeaking noise as indicator. Metal on metal sound was only indication. Damaged the rotors and was replaced. Other rotors was resurfaced. $350 to repair. Jeep will not include as warranty even though faulty parts used. This is not safe.

2002 Jeep Liberty defective front brakes, heavy pulsation coming from brake pedal loss of control of ther car. Dealer repairs with known defective factory parts.

Brake rotors warped at 22000 miles, evere shimmy when braking above 60 mph. Had rotors resurfaced, rotors are warped again at 45000 miles.

While traveling on highway vehicle shutdown without prior warning. Brake rotors squeak. Also, air conditioner blows out hot air. Dealership is aware of problem.
