What owners say

Filed Sep 30, 2005 · Brakes · WV

Dt: the contact noticed on september 30, 2005 a customer brought in a 1995 jeep cherokee. The rotors came apart in two pieces which was not due to wear. The contact was an automobile technician for thirty years. There was no warning or noise prior. Put brakes on this vehicle about a year or so ago. This was not something one could see happening. . The metal was so thin that after a period of time it just came apart and was just from normal braking. When it came apart apart it put all of the pressure on the other brake which wason one brake. This will cause the steering wheel to jerk and could cause the vehicle to flip. *sc.
