Brake Disc problems of the 1997 Jeep Wrangler

Three problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1997 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 01/05/1998

While driving at various speeds and road conditions the front brakes locked. When the brakes lock the wheels skidded either to the right or left, but more often to the right. Had been to the dealer numerous times. No repairs were done because dealer determined nothing was wrong. Called Chrysler, and tried to speak to an engineer and they did not wish to talk to consumer. Vehicle was involved in several crashes.

2 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 09/05/1997

Rear brake system cracked/unit failed.

3 Brake Disc problem

Front brakes only stop the vehicle, back brakes do not engage. On ice, the vehicle does not stop because the auto trans keeps the rear wheels turning whle the front slides. I have attempted to have this problem corrected several times.
