1 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2007

Warped rotors on 2003 Jeep Wrangler with 23,000 miles. When the brake pedal was depressed the steering wheel shook, causing steering problems. Plus, the vehicle did not stop as fast as it should because the brake pads did not apply even pressure on warped rotors. If not fixed may result in an accident. Rotors and brake pad will have to be replaced at a cost of approximately $375. 00.

2 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2006

I have a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. The problem: the right front rotor continues to warp. Since I have purchased the vehicle in 2003, I have had to have the rotor turned. The warped rotor causes alot of vibration when breaking at highway speeds. When I have spoke to the maintience folks at mack masey Jeep they have stated this has been a continual problem with Jeep vehicles, they have had approximately 100 come in with the same problem.
