Description of the problem	I am having abs brake problems with this truck. I owned a 2000 jeep grand cherokee for 3 years and had the same problem but it was under warranty. The calipers and rotors had to be replaced 4 times and the truck had less then 30,000 miles. My brake pads were always fine. I traded the truck in early for a 2004 model. The sales man assured me the problem was fixed. After a year, i had the same problem, the rotors and calipers had to be replaced again, and the pads were fine. The mechanic told me the abs is the problem, as when you step on the brakes, it activates and heats up the rotors and damages the calipers because the abs brakes do not release in time to cool off the braking system. Chrysler replaced everything because it was under 13,000 miles, but will not if it happens again. Why should we have to pay for a system failure? I think chrysler should recall all models with this braking failure and fix it. They are very aware of the problem. *jb
