2000 Jeep Cherokee brakes complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Had to service brakes for the 3rd time after purchasing vehicle brand new. Dealer and manufacture had been notified.
2000 cherokee sport - 20626 miles. I initially had issues with the steering dampner which was causing vibration in the front end. After that was fixed everything was fine for a few months, then the front end started shaking when braking.....worse when going down hill. Service says this is not normal, but it has been seen before. I called chrysler and spoke with matt. Explained the situation and was told there was nothing they could do since it was beyond the 12/12000 warranty for brakes. Decided to do a little research and found that jeep has had serious issues with brakes on the cherokee for years now. There are occassional re-calls, but not on the 2000 cherokee! Why can we not get help from from the federal safety agency in forcing chrsler to recall these dangerous vehicles?
Ongoing problem with out of round rotors. Rotors are being turned or replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Condition causes vehicle to vibrate severely when applying brakes. *ak consumer stated that the vehicle was a safety hazard and eventually would be the cause of an accident. The vibration that was caused by the brakes were beginning to cause the front tires to wear irregularly.
After 4 attemts to remedy this problem chrysler has only "thanked" me for "sharing my concerns". In the meantime I am driving a vehicle that requires new brakes ever 3000 miles. Is there something wrong with that picture? I can send you all the documents regarding this including their response. Thanks beverly paulsey.

Front brakes rotors are corroded and are prematurely wearing. Cause unknown.
Front brake rotors were replaced once and turned twice less then two years, and problem is reoccurriing. Dealer notified. *ak the engine was hard to start due to fuel pump module failure which was replaced.
The vehicle shakes when the brakes are applied , in particular going downhill. This happened the first time at 10,000 miles. Returned vehicle to the dealer. They said the rotors were warped. The brakes were under warranty so they fixed them. Now it has happened again. This is a known problem, but no one seems to want to acknowledge it.
Since we have owned this jeep, we have experienced chronic problems with the front tire wheel balance and rotor system on the front end of this vehicle. The problem started shortly after we took ownership of in october, 2000 when the truck had 1743 miles. Brakes pulsated and it was determined that rotors were warped. First set up replacement rotors from dealership using chrysler parts june 26, 2001. Problem occurred again december, 2001 when vehicle had 28,887 miles on it. Dealership offered to resurface rotors as they were warped. Refused to replace them even though they were defective and still under warrantee. Took vehicle to a third party mechanic and paid to have installed after market rotors to address pulsating brakes and issue that when pulsating brakes were applied on highway, vehicle pulled sharply to the left. Defective rotors - recall is necessary to prevent future serious injury to those operating vehicle with original rotors.*ak
Front rotors have been replaced three times since vehicle was purchased. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.*ak
Front end was vibrating and brakes were grabbing. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer changed rotors and pads.*ak the consumer stated that the rotors were defective.

Violent shaking and vibration of steering control when braking. This can cause driver to panic and loose control of vehicle. Due to warped brake rotors and worn brake pads.
Jeep claims that it does not have a problem with brake rotors, after researching, they seem to have a big problem they will not fix. It is to late to help my six month old baby who ended up in the hospital after a failure!
Brakes began pulsating and shaking on 12/2000, 22422 miles. Repaired 1/04/2001. Repeated previous problem on 4/05/01, 27028 miles. Repaired. Now 1/17/2002 and brakes are again in need of repair. I feel this could be dangerous and at the very least their is a defect in these brakes. Thank you.
Warped rotors cause dangerous front end shimmy when brakes applied - manufacturer denies defect exists - similiar problem, send contact info to [email protected].
Pulsation of brakes,, replaced rotors, turned rotors,, every six months.
My cherokee has 14000miles I have had the truck for 2 yrs.I took it to the dealership for the front end shaking and they told me that the rotors were warped.the brakes are only covered for 12000 miles.it cost me 180.00 dollars to fix,it seems to me that the rotors should last longer than that jeep should fix the problem or nobody should buy them

This rotor defect was recognized as a defect in the 1999 model and it is the same problem in the 2000 model. Yor agency has hundreds of complaints re this issue and a recall should be isssued. Chrylser has ignored the issue and will only react when forced to do so. Rotors should not wear out and become dangerous after just 6000 miles. Please do something.
