SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW SUV, GRAND CHEROKEE, IN 1999. SINCE THEN, I'VE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ROTOR EVERY SINGLE YEAR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE FROM SPEED >50 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES, THE DEALER GRACIOUSLY FIXED THE PROBLEMS WITHOUT CHARGE. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, I HAD TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM FOR A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR IT'S >36,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT JEEP HAS IMPROVED THE ROTOR DESIGN AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. MY FRIEND OWNS THE SAME MODEL AND IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED JEEP BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT'S NOT A DEFECT. SO, AS A CONSUMER, AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ROTOR ONCE EVERY 9 MONTHS? MY OTHER VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM. *NLM
