Tl*- the contact stated that while driving the 2001 jeep cherokee with 73000 failure mileage at any rate of speed and then applying the brake, the steering wheel shook uncontrollably, and was getting worse, but the vehicle stopped normally. the vehicle had been taken to the dealer seven times for repairs. the most recent time they changed the rotors and calipers, but the failure recurred. *ak updated 03/19/07. *jb
Dt*: the contact stated the plastic blades on the fan fractured and detached from the engine puncturing the radiator. there is a nhtsa campaign id # 06v199000 pertaining to the engine and engine cooling system; fan. the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the vin. there was also an unnecessary delayed in acceleration. there was a grinding noise and smoking coming from the brakes. the dealership determined the brakes were rubbing against the discs causing friction which caused the brakes to overheat. the caliper was also leaking. the brake calipers, brake shoes and pads were replaced.
Need full brake replacement( calipers, rotors, pads) due to pulsing in the front end when brakes are applied moderately. many people are experiencing the same problems. have the same problem with my chrysler concorde and have complained to chrysler many times to no avail. they simply use low quality parts. will never buy chrysler again. *jb
we purchased a 2001 grand cherokee limited from a local dealership with 50,000 miles in may of 2005. no heat from both passenger or drivers side vents. blend door hinges separated and inop. recirculation door also inoperable vehicle had 53,500 miles at this time. drivers seat heater failed at 65,000 miles. pcm failed at 75,000 miles and this was the only repair covered under warranty. the jeep now has 81,000 miles and we have had vibration and pedal pulsation from the front brakes three times since we purchased the vehicle. *jb
Vibration during braking resulted in replacement of front disc brake rotors at 30,000 miles. problem is recurring at 45,000 miles. note that in this model year daimler chrysler revised warranty to exclude rotors from standard 3yr/30k coverage. *jb
The car shakes a lot when i brake. i was told that brake disks are warped and pads are 50% warned out at 13000 miles. dealer and the campony does not take responsibility although discs should last for about 60000-80000 miles.*ak
Brake disc warping and causing pulsation. first occurrence at about 10,000 miles. second has just started at 16,000 miles.*ak
Pulsating and grabbing brakes when applied. to the point of possible steering loss at higher speeds. first failure at aprox 12000 miles dealer replaced all rotors and front calipers. stated brakes were under rated. aproximately 12000 miles later vehicles is still under warranty and has the same problem only more severe. i will be replacing the rotors with an aftermarket brand. (not the defective rotors used by chrysler). old rotors will be available for inspection. chrysler refuses to cover these defective parts under warranty. vehicle only has currently 28000 miles.*ak
When braking at speeds greater than 50 mph the car shakes uncontrollably.*ak
Disc brake rotor failure. vehicle has 33000 miles. severe shuddering at the front end occurs when braking at highway speeds due to front rotors having warped. severe enough to effect control of vehicle, especially if were to occur in emergency or bad weather situation. shudderring is not as severe at less than highway speeds. such warping of the rotors is not normal and from the number of other posts there is clearly a manufacturing defect occuring.
