This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I had the Jeep dealer replace the front rotors on my 96 Jeep Cherokee country per the recall from Chrysler. Within 20K miles the rotors were severely warped, hot spotted and had small cracks in several places on both sides of each rotor. When they were turned, "soft" spots were revealed in the metal and both rotors - even when turned down all the way down to the minimum thickness. They were deemed unsalvageable and I had to get another new set less than a year after recall replacements were installed. The incident date is approximate. I will need to find the receipts to know the exact dates.
Automatic adjusters are not sufficient in design to keep the rear brake drums adjusted properly, causing extreme pedal pulsation, and causing most braking onto front brakes, resulting in overheating and warping of the rotors.
