| Description of the problem | Rear break components (pads, rotors, lr caliper) at 30k on 12/10/09. Front pads replaces on 1/14/10 at appx 31k: front pads and rotors on 4/2012 (3rd set) at 58k calipers not frozen: this vehicle year was the first year of the 4. 0 l engine. Already engine no longer an option: later model years (2010 and later) have larger callipers and pads. I truly believe this vehicle was redesigned and offered without consideration to the brake system components. The vehicle was so new that my owner manual doesn't reference the 4. 0 liter engine. This model year has numerous complaints of premature break wear. *js |
