2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee brakes complaints
Page 8 of 16: complaints 191 to 220 of 438, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Experienced vehicle vibration when applying brakes. The dealer told me it was not under warrenty and it had to do with driver's braking habits, but this is our second grand cherokee and never experienced this problem before. I had the rotors (two front) turned, but it is doing it again after 5 months. I took it in again, and they tell me the rotors (two front) need to be turned again. From all the complaints I see and hear about, it seems there is a problem with these vehicles.
Vehicle vibrates excessively when brakes are applied from 40 to 70 MPH. Rotors have been replaced at 5800,12500,&19900 miles. Dealers in fl. And nc have serviced vehicle under warranty, stating rotors are prematurely warped and therefore defective. Now at 30000 miles and vibrating again.
2000 jeep grand cherokee brake problems.my jeep has 45,000 on it and this will be my forth set of brakes.dealer has covered the brake work while under warentee.but this has not solved the problem between 5000 to 10,000 I will have to have a brake job done
Jeep is equipped with ABS brakes. The brake pad rotors and calipers have been replaced twice within 8000 miles accumulation. Ts there was a shimmy in the steering wheel due to the brake problem. The consumer requested reimbursement for the monies spent on repair. Scc
Continue to experience front brake rotor failure due to warpage. This has occurred every 6,000-8,000 miles. Rotors and pads have been replaced 4 times with the calipers replaced the last time per tsb #0500302 dtd 5/02. They have now failed again even with the new calipers. The dealer has been great, however this is a design flaw with chrysler/jeep that needs a recall and a permanent fix. It is a safety issue as well as a time issue to have it fixed every 8,000 miles! Chrysler refuses to provide an extedned warranty or any lasting solution to the problem. I think a class action law suit would be in order.
Rotors have had to be replaced every 7000 miles. When rotors become warped, it becomes almost undrivable. Ts
I have talked with several people who have had the same problem. They have had to get the front rotors ground because the rotors cause a terrible vibration when we push down on the brakes. Dt
Consumer state while depressing the brake pedal at high speed steering wheel would slip out of consumer hand and the brake pedal vibrate. Vehicle was service by dealer technician notice problem with brake system. Please provide further information. Ts
Sometimes the brakes in my vehicle does not respond when the pedal is depressed. *jb ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****769322
The consumer is experienced a recurring problem with the brakes. The problems are as followed: shimmying, squeaking/squealing in the brake system, shimmy/shake in the steering wheel, and warped rotors. The vehicle is was still under warranty, but the consumer was told that there was no way possible that this problem could be covered by warranty, and learned from the dealer that they are aware of the problem, which is a caliper problem. (which indicates that the problem will occur again) the rotors were refaced and resurfaced, and the pads were resurfaced. Refer to odi#768226
Rotors have been resurfaced twice at my expense. They are warped again. Dt
No failure yet severe rusting of brake line going to the rear axle. The rust is at the mounting clips is there any on going investigation on this issue? Have photos available. Dt
Rear differential: complete lockup at 55 MPH !!! As I traveled down a county hwy to just outside of town after work. Almost killed 2 pedestrians as the back end skidded 100 ft in complete lockup, dealer replacing the rear axle and looking at the front differential since it seems to have problems caused by this sudden failure of the back. Brakes: I have had rotors turned 3 times (twice by dealer under warranty and once by independent shop) and since purchased complete new rotors and pads on all 4 tires work by midas due to severe pulsation when braking. I have noticed lots of complaints for exactly the same thing on internet. Jay laszewski dt
Consumer stated the the vehicle was in park with the emergency brake engaged and engine running. The consumer exited the vehicle then it began to roll backwards and hit a brick wall. Upon inspection the consumer noticed that the gear lever had shifted from park to reverse. The consumer contacted the dealer about gear shift problem prior to this accident. *ts
Recurring warping of brake rotors under normal use causing excessive vibration in steering under braking at all speeds. Rotors have been resurfaced twice (at 7986 and 29489 miles), rotors replaced (at 45176 miles), problem still recurring. Dealer indicates caliper problem that chrysler is aware of and developing fix, but no notification or follow up from dealer. Mr
Transfer case bad on delivery. Snap ring not installed unit replaced. Brake rotors warp every 20k miles. Replaced with aftermarket at 40k.. Steering column clunk and feels loose. Dealer replaced with new, same problem exists. Excessive clunking and looseness in driveline. Loud clunk park to reverse dealer says normal but lots of complaints. Mr
The front end of the vehicle shakes violently at speeds above 40 MPH when brakes are applied. Nlm
When brakes were applied to slow down/stop vehicle suddenly jerked forward. This problem would sometimes happen when backing up. Owner has taken vehicle to dealership, but problem has not been resolved. Please describe details.
Brake line rusted thru,resulting in complete loss of brakes. Line is rusted wherever a clip holds it to the chassis. Other spots ready to rust through. Mfg. Refuses to pay for repair or consider the catastrophic safety issue this involves. Claim it is due to elements.....whole line is not rusted through, only where clip holds it. Car was driven normally, under same conditions others face, this could be a catastrophic failure causing death. Certainly your brake line should not fail after 2.5 years with normal use. If the elements caused it, are the cars not supposed to be driven outside. Could be a reaction between the clip and the line caused by salt, but there are a lot of people driving through salt in the winter. They may die.
Rotors fail without warning, have been replaced four times since purchase of vehicle
While driving andwhen brakes are applied front of vehicle vibrates.contacted dealer.this was a result of rotors overheating.
Front wheels shake when brakes applied at speeds over 50 MPH. Dealer described cause as warped rotors. The front rotors were replaced at approx. 12000 miles, 24000 miles and again at approx. 36000 miles. Dealer states that this has been a problem in other like vehicles. All repairs were covered under warranty so far.
While driving down the road at 40-50 MPH, the vehicle started to shimmy and shake. When taking the vehicle to dealer, the dealer stated that all four rotors where warped. Contacted dealer. *ak
While driving applied brakes and they didn't hold, pedal went all the way to the floor, resulting in vehicle running into a tree.
Rough vibration at all speeds when braking; rotors turned; 4000 miles later problem returned/recom. Replace rotors & pads; manu.facturer will not repair after 1st year.
Brakes - rotors warp about every 9 to 12,000 miles. The rotors have been turned 3 times and are now in need again. Transmission - the overdrive slips as it engages. Tachometer shows the engine speed increasing as the od engages, than drops as it finally fully engages.
Consumer states there is vibration of the steering wheel when brakes are applied at 15 - 50 MPH. As speed is increased, vibration is violent and steering uncontrollable. Vehicle taken to authorized dealership, however, had scheduling problems. Local lube service inspected front brakes and determined an uneven wear of the rotors casued the vibration. There is a service bulletin relating to this failure, however, manufacturer denies claim, stating that repairs were not made at authorized dealership.
Rotors warped at 27,000 - dealership admitted this is a serious problem . Vehicle shuddrers uncontrollably when braking hard. If the driver rarely brakes hard, he may not realize the extent of the problem until he forcefully applies the brakes. At that point, it is very easy to get into an accident. , . There are hundreds of postings with this problem - chrysler needs to do something to make jeep recall and fix the problems before someone is killed. This is a car that families buy because it has a good "safety record, but it has a serious defect.pac.
There is vibration in steering wheel when applying brake, dealer turned both front rotors twice, then replaced rotors twice. First turned at 19000 miles.
