1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee brakes complaints
Page 15 of 22: complaints 401 to 430 of 622, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brakes pulsate/ steering vibrates when applying brakes. Took vehicle to dealer, and they wanted to turn rotors. But, consumer felt that this will not correct problem.
Front brake rotors warping every 8,000 miles causing dangerous front-end vibration when braking at highway speeds.
Ongoing problem with front brake rotors warping. Dealer notified, and had rotors turned and replaced. But problem still occurring. *ak original rotors warped within 6 omonths after purchase of vehicle, (front rotors) they were then turned, warped again within 6k miles then replaced one rotor then the other rotor warped.
At approximately 10,000 miles both front brake rotors became warped/distorted. Warping was due to materials used in manufacturing of rotors. Brake rotor warping occurred again at approximately 16,000 miles. Vehicle currently has 24,500 miles on it, and defect has occurred again. Dealership was attempting to repair defect. However, manufacturer was not supporting dealership efforts in correcting this defect. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Consumer replaced under warranty rotors at 10,000 miles. Rotors needed to be replace at 19,000 miles because vehicle shook real badly when trying to stop.vehicle should be covered under warranty up/ until 36,000 miles. Dealer was trying to say it was normal wear and tear to avoid paying for it.
Premature wear of front brake rotors, resulting in poor steering. Dealer has inspected vehicle.
Brake pedal was shuddering/pulsating at any speed when brakes were applied. Dealership informed consumer that front/ left and right brake rotors were warped with 24,000 miles on them. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Whenever braking after traveling 45mph and above vehicle will vibrate. Can maintain control when this happens. Been to dealership at least 3 times for problem. Problem is causing tires to wear out excessively due to rotors. Mechanic cannot resolve problem.
Every six months consumer has to take vehicle in for brake problems, such as squealing and vibration. These problems occur at any speed. Dealership informed consumer that rotors were not heavy duty enough to handle vehicle. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
The disc brakes on the 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo are the same as those recalled on the 1999 jeep cherokee sport (recall 00v136000), but the manufacturer is unwilling to admit to any known brake disc defect on the laredo. The problem is pitting of the disc surface leading to a pulsating vibration when the brakes are applied.
Every eight thousand miles, brakes need to be replaced. Dealer has replaced 3 times. *ak
The original and replacement front brake rotors failed and were warped, the consumer contacted the dealer who refused to replaced them at no cost because the the vehicle was out of warranty. Nlm
Brake rotors repeatedly warp causing severe shaking in steering during highway speed braking and moderate shaking at slower speeds braking. This is a persistant problem with this model jeep - mine, as well as others according to reports I've read. Jeep repairs this defect under warranty by using an "on-the-car lathe". This is a temporary fix at best as these brake rotors are of defective manufacturing. . Chrysler/jeep is stalling a recall by attempting these ineffective repairs in my opinion. I believe a safety recall is urgent.
While driving at speed at above 40 MPH consumer applies brakes, and there is pulsation and vibration. Dealership has looked at vehicle 5 times, and has not been able to tell consumer reason for defect. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Front disc rotors warp easily causing vehicle to become uncontrollable under certain circumstances. Dealer attempted fix four times, refuses to fix further, even though service admits many of same problems with other vehicles.
Rotors turned, brakes replaced once, chronic problem, not corrected, dealer blames my driving - no way- problem never fixed, brakes grab and wobble, steering wheel shakes,reoccurs.
Rotor/brake pad failure.
Brakes cause pulse in brake pedal when brakes applied. Pads and rotors replaced once before. Brakse also squeak. Believe current rotors unable to stand heat...reason for warpping. Calipers may also be cause. Recommend replace with aftermarket products...believe mopar products will continue to fail.
The front rotors continue to prematurely warp every 6 to 7k since purchase of vehicle.
Repeated vibration and smoking of brakes ove 22 months; no identification of source of problem by maufacturer. Authorized dealer service; no assistance from manufacturer; lemon law complaint initiated 4/01.
I leased my 1999 jeep grand cherokee in december of 1998. In august of 1999, the dealer had to machine the rotors at 11,200 miles (the pads were fine). In january 2000, the dealer replaced the front and rear rotors at 19,062 miles (again, the pads were fine). In june 2000, the dealer had to replace the front rotors at 27,324 miles (as usual, the pads were ok). Now that it is out-of-warranty, I had the jeep checked by our mechanic. In april 2001, he had to replace the rear rotors at 38,500 miles. I did need pads this time. Based on the reports of faulty rotors on the 1996, 1997, and 1998 jeep grand cherokees, I believe that daimlerchrysler should issue a recall on the 1999 jeep grand cherokee. I also want to be reimbused by them.

Brake rotors were experiencing excessive wear. Rotors were replaced at 12,000 miles and at 28,000 miles. *ak consumer states chrysler agreed to pay 1/2 of the repairs.

Front rotors warped and car vibrates badly when braking on freeway. Front rotors resurfaced @ 11,117 miles, front rotors and pads replaced @ 20,126 miles, and front rotors replaced @ 32,314 miles. Car shakes dangerously when coming to a stop off freeway or speeds of around 40+ MPH.
Consumer has had to replace rotors every 7,000 miles due to the warping. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
