Vehicle experienced failure of the recall (99v‑340 and 98v‑005) rotors prior to recall notification.
The handle of the emergency brake will not stay in the locked position. My mother also has the same problem with her jeep cherokee. I've never seen a brake handle go bad before, and since it also happened on my mothers jeep, it indicates a manufacturer's defect.
Right front brake caliper sticks slightly, causing overheating of right front brake. Also front suspension failure.
When applying the brakes the vehicle pulls to the left because the front right rotor completely separated from the hub. Rotor and hub joint failed because of corrosion. Both rotors need to be replaced. *ak
When driving at any speed and applying brakes, the brakes are hard and the ABS system locks up, causing the consumer to have no brakes. Consumer has to dodge other vehicles in order not to have an accident due to the fact that the brakes don't stop the vehicle.
I have moved since purchasing my jeep. I was traveling on the road when all of a sudden my breaks did not work. I crashed to a stop but by the grace of god I was not traveling at a high speed. I only bumped my head. I had to have the car towed to crest auto world in n. Conway, nh. They said that the front break rotors seperated from the center hub. He gave me a copy of a recall notice showing that the year 90-91 & 93 for my car had a recall for this exact problem. When I called crysler, they said that they would not do anything to help me with this. If they found this exact problem with those years, why did they skip 92?? Since this is the exact problem, I think that people should be warned so that nobody dies because of this.
