1996 Jeep Cherokee brakes complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 93 of 93, newest first, as owners wrote them.
During abrupt stop the consumer applied the brakes but the vehicle did not slow downresulting in an accident, the consumer did have repairs on this vehicle due to recall 00v‑136 and is questioning if this could be what caused the failure this time.
A hole developed in the brake line, causing a loss of braking, which resulted in a collision. Manufacturer has been notified.
When consumer hit the brakes rotors snapped off of the hub. There were no injuries. Consumer said that the same part was recalled before. Consumer indicated dealer was replacing the rotors with the same defective parts.
Steering wheel vibrates when brakes are applied at highway speed. Was told rotors were warped. The first incident occurred at 25,000 miles, had rotors grounded. Is happening again now at 50,500 miles.
While appying the brakes, driving about 50 MPH, the anti-lock sensor locked the rear wheels, causing vehicle to go into a big slide. Consumer had to take his foot off the brake and hit the gas pedal to pull out of the slide, and vehicle kept going. Consumer hit brakes real hard, and vehicle came to a stop. Consumer took the vehicle to a dealer to be repaired, and dealer stated tha the self adjuster was frozen.
The water pump went out on way out of town. White smoke poured out from behind the jeep. We immediately pulled over and used our phone to call for help. We were told from a mechanic that it sounded as if the water pump went out. We waited for the jeep to cool off, then added water to the radiator. We were able to drive at 35 MPH until we found a service station to pull over at. At that time the technician told us that it was indeed the water pump and there was no more that could be done that day (saturday-5:00p.m.). We got our vehicle towed back home to lafayette, la. The next morning and at that time the towing/service technician also said it looked as if the engine head gasket was blown. Is that common for this vehicle with this milage? Also, the brakes went out and we had them fixed a month ago at lafayette motors inc. Could they have known about the water pump or is that impossible? Also, was there supposed to be any warning as a check engine light? We got no warning, but the smoke pouring out. *ak( dot number: )
When applying the brakes the pedal doesn't move because the rotors are cracked. Dealer has not seen.
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.
Front disc brake rotors make an annoying loud noise due to excessive wear from cracks in the pads. Later model vehicles were recalled for the same problem.
When ABS brakes are applied, they would vibrate. Took to dealer & mechanic said rotors needed replacing. Had entire brakes checked. Brakes resurfaced. Been back twice. Problem still exists.
While coming to a stop the vehicle lost its brakes and power steering, causing the vehicle to go into a spin. The vehicle has severe damage. The manufacturer sent an investigator out, and determined that nothing was wrong with the vehicle.
Loud grinding noise while braking, no problem found.
While driving about 30 MPH they heard a grinding noise without any warning . Consumer stated that the noise was coming from the right rear wheel brake pad. Also that it was rusted and had broken off and came apart. Consumer contacted the dealer and had repaired.
Anti lock brakes failed prior to recall repair.
When coming to a stop the brakes would pulsate and the vehicle becomes unstable. At 8,111 miles the rotors warped so badly that they had to be replaced. Also the pads had to be replaced. At 16,000 miles the brake rotors failed again. The rotors were not replaced at this time.
