Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2017 Jeep Renegade

Two problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 2017 Jeep Renegade. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2019

After a few months of use the brake rotors had deep scoring and were replaced by the dealer. At less than a year the brake rotors and pads scorn again and now the vehicle pulls to one side when the brakes are applied hard.

2 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2018

Took my 2017 Jeep Renegade sport to the dealer for regularly scheduled oil change and tire rotation. They did change the oil and rotate the tires as scheduled. They did notify me that the rotors would need to be replaced before the vehicle could pass inspection. During the conversation the dealer said these vehicles were known for having too hard of a brake pad and the pad grooves the rotors. At the time I was notified of the situation the vehicle had less than 19,000 miles and was in the 11th month of ownership. I have been reading many forums regarding this issue and noticed that the last three model year of Jeep Renegade has been having the same issue. I am very unpleased by the fact that I now need to replace both front rotors, pads, and labor on my dime for a vehicle that I have owned for less than a year.
