Rotors or pads wearing out early by model year
What owners say
Front rotors recalled and replaced by jeep, replaced rotors warped after about 6 months and 5,000 miles. Dealer says rotors warped and require resurfacing. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge any warranty of their own replacement parts after this short period, claiming that the vehicle is out of warranty. I believe chrysler should warranty their replacemnt parts on a recall of a failed brake component, at least for 12 months.
Brake rotors warped, causing vibration.
Brake rotors warped/failed at 10,000 miles; relaced 3 times within 43,000 miles, when applying brakes, steering wheel jerks back/forth, no accident.
Warped rotors causing violent chattering when brakes applied abruptly.

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger and multi-purpose vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the states of connecticut, illinois, indiana, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, or wisconsin, and the district of columbia. The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
- Risk
- The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
