| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 jeep grand cherokee with 15,000 miles. The front brake rotors had to be replaced at 7738 miles, and now again at 15,440 miles. The warping of the rotors makes the car unstable and i have almost been in a few serious accidents, and did have one collision due to this problem. These rotors are flimsy and should be replaced with a better quality part |
