| Description of the problem | Vehicle shakes and vibrates without control when applying the brakes. I took it to the dealership while it was under warranty and they would not honor it because the rotors were warped. Said it was over 12,000 miles. I had the rotors turned twice now and they are still warped past the point of no return. I guess new rotors will need to be purchased. Chrysler should own up to their problems. Never had this problem ever with any other vehicle i have owned until jeep. Not even a year old yet.*ak |
