I have a 2000 jeep gc laredo, and along with many,many other people i have numerous problems. the warped rotors are very dangerous when you have to use your brakes, especially when you have children in the car as i do, also the taillight/brake light issue, that has gotten me pulled over more than once, even though i put a new bulb in it every time. the door lock actuator that is very annoying not to mention my transmission has a shifting problem that i can't do anything about and now my radiator fan will not work so my car will overheat if i am stopped for too long. *jb
Need to replace brake rotors at less than 35,000 miles. multiple posting on internet site identifying having the same problem and that jeep is aware of but chooses only to make the customer replace at their own expense. *tr
I own a 1999 grand cherokee limited jeep. the front rotor disk has warped due to the heat created when applying the brakes. as a result the steering wheel vibrates violently on the application of the brakes. the rotor & calipers have been changed! when will chrysler help to resolve an issue, which is obviously a manufacturing fault? *tr
I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee that has 2 potentially dangerous issues with it. due to a manufacturers design flaw, the brake lights malfunction on a regular basis. the light shorts itself out when the headlights are turned on leaving me with no brakes at night. in addition, the door lock actuator in my rear passenger door has broken. since jeep saw fit to only provide a key on the drivers door, this rear door neither locks nor unlocks which would result in a potentially lifethreatening situation if i were involved in a wreck and was unable to exit the vehicle from this door. my cooling fan broke, i replaced with a non-oem model which chewed a hole in my radiator after 100 miles. replaced radiator and fan. radiator broke after a year, re-replaced. after searching online i found that these are fairly common problems and not the result of some action on my part. *tr
While trying to stop, while my foot was on the brake pedal, the engine started racing and was not able to stop, i ended up hitting the car in front of me, 2 car passengers went to the hospital with minor injuries. contacted jeep and car was checked by factory expert at local dealer , nothing defective was found with brakes . this has happened 2 times before this accident. fortunately, i was able to stop. also i had to replace all 4 rotors with less than 18,000 miles, complained to jeep and was told that rotors are normal wear and tear item and how long they last depends on your driving habits. i just heard on tv that there is a recall for brake failure, contacted jeep and was told no, there is no recall at this time. please let me know if there is a recall on 05 jeep grand cherokee for brake failure. eq-10203460-4200. date received 12/12/07 *jb new jersey police report. updated 12/12/07 *tr
