2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee brakes complaints
Page 16 of 16: complaints 431 to 438 of 438, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The brake rotors had to be resurfaced at approximately 9,000 miles, while under a 12/12 warranty. These rotors had to be resurfaced again at 22283 miles, at a cost of $259.00 because the brakes were surging upon application at low speeds.
Regarding the brakes: after repeated (3 times) complaints about the brake pedal going all the way to the floor (when driven under stop and go commuter-type traffic) and each time there was "no trouble found" I finally (on 7/29/2000) drove into the dealership with the pedal all the way down to the floor. A mechanic was called and said there was definitely a problem and they summized "it must be the master cylinder". With respect to the engine: after repeated complaints (at least 3 times) of oil leaking from under the engine and having it dismissed as 1) sloppy oil change, excess oil from left on engine block, 2) faulty oil filter, 3) rear main engine seal (rear main was replaced) and continuing to have oil leaks, on 7/29/2000, I brought it in and the dealership says the engine is "porous" and the entire engine needs replacement. I was advised to not take the vehicle due to the brake issue. The vehicle is at the dealership awaiting arrival of a new engine and replacement and also installation of the master cylinder. With respect to the differential whine, I have been told twice "it is normal" and nothing will be done..
Premature warping of brake rotors. Please provide further details.
Fuel was leaking from tail pipe, and fumes entered the passenger's compartment. Dealer replaced fuel injector and power control module. *ak
The front end of the vehicle shimmied when the brakes are applied due to warped rotors. Yh
Brakes failed. Yh
The first week I owned my brand new vehicle, it started clunking and jerking. Several weeks later, they replaced the drive shaft. I continue to have similar and other problems with the transmission, gear shifting, brakes, etc...I inquired of the dealership whether or not there were any reported manufacturers defects and they said no. They lied.
