Jeep Renegade owners have reported 1 problem related to brake grinding noise (under the service brakes category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At 14,024 miles, front brakes were making a grinding metal to metal noise whenever applied. My vehicle was inspected at an independent auto repair shop since I was told over the phone by the dealership service department that brakes are not under warranty due to regular wear and tear. (even though I purchased this vehicle new. ) upon mechanical inspection, my front rotors (both sides) were deeply grooved but my brake pad was still at 90%thickness, although there seemed to be small chip at corner of brake pad. I agreed to have both front rotors resurfaced. Then again, at 27,475 miles, the left side rotor had same repeated wear pattern. Again, the left side rotor was measured for minimal thickness and resurfaced at an independent auto repair shop. Pads, again, had good operating thickness and reinstalled. I have an appointment for an oil change this week and I am beginning to hear the grinding noise again! when is the Jeep manufacturer going to assume responsibility for formulating a front brake pad material that grinds into the front brake rotors?? also refund repairs to consumers that have invested in their product and replace (at their cost), new front pads and new brake rotors. . . Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler-your manufacturing quality is diminishing!!.
