| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 jeep grand cherokee and i am the original owner. I have under 30,000 miles on the car. When i brake, the steering wheel shudders and the brakes pulse. The dealer informs me that the rotors need to be replaced. Rotors should not need to be replaced at 30,000 miles. It is unsafe and expensive. Chrysler knows of the problem as it has been occurring since the 1990's and they still do not fix the rotors.*jb |
