| Description of the problem | I have been having brake vibrating problems since 12,000 miles on my 2004 jeep. It has gotten substantially worse, now at 18,000 miles. I have contacted jeep corporate and they were of no help. The 3 times i brought my jeep in for repair, all they did was "re-surface" the brake pads once because they were "warped." they could not cover the cost of the resurfacing or the diagnosis because my jeep was over 12,000 miles. According to the nhsta website, there are a number of jeep customers with the exact same problem. *jb |
