Brake rotors are warped. When brakes are applied wheels jump and wobble. The brakes respond irregularly. Dealer has been contacted.

Grand Cherokee 4WD

  • miles
Vehicle has suffered from warped rotors which were replaced twice on the front and once on the rear. No problems since 12998 miles. But I consider this to be due to poor quality. Main issue reoccurring, stalling problems while stopped in drive. Vehicle has been in three times for checks to throttle body (cleaned and once replaced), software revisions and other settings, but stalling continued to manifest itself. Has stalled 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Contacted daimler Chrysler who kept referring me to the dealer. But after multiple visits I have no confidence in their ability to address this problem.

While traveling down the highway at appox. 65 mph I began to apply the brakes, the entire vehicle and steering wheel shook violently. This came without warning, after a few gentle pushes on the brake in the next few miles the shudder was less violent. It now feels as if the rotors are warped, I had the rotors turned at 6500 miles and now it seems as they are warped again. In recent days I have been careful to note the vehicles behavior, it seems that after 5-6 stoplights or braking periods in quick succession that the next few stops are especially violent, and then a few stops later it goes away. The violent shaking is strong enough to cause problems at highway speeds, I am now confined to <45 mph until the vehicle is inspected next week.

Brakes: Front end shakes when braking, rotors turned by dealer, but problem continues - dangerous. Differential/transfercase: Loud clunking noise from rear, 'roaring' noise at speeds of 30-40mph and 65-75mph. Engine: Stalls(dies out) when idling in gear and when putting gear from park to reverse, delear doesn't know how to fix. Vehicle lunges forward when coming to a stop, almost hit vehicle in front - dangerous. Idles roughly, rpms go up and down at stops, stalls. Steering: Pulls to right, dealer says alignment is fine. Noise from steering column when turning. Ac: lots of water condensed inside of vehicle at passengers feet when ac on, dealer says normal.

Front brakes shutter, causing steering to wobble, almost uncontrollably. Garage machined rotors but problem came back within 1500 miles. Rotors are warping under mostly highway usage with very little traffic/city usage. Makes stopping or slowing very difficult on highway or ramp.

Repeated problems with ac/heat being erratic, will take vehicle in for 4th time. Vehicle shuddered, fixed by changing fluid. Weather seal fell off. Brake shudder fixed by replacement of rotors, etc. Engine stalled fixed, but the rev up and lurch at stop is not yet. Setting another appointment with service.

Front brake rotors are to thin, causing them to warp under heat. Rotors have been replaced three times.

Grand Cherokee 4WD

  • miles
I had a severe vibration if braking over 50mph. The dealer resurfaced but not replaced the front rotors. The problem improved but is not 100% resolved. I feel unsafe driving with resurfaced warped rotors that the dealer refused to replace because crysler will not authorize it.
