| Description of the problem | Warped brakes on 2004 grand cherokee. Eas told by dealer it was due to the fact that i do lots of city driving. After doing some research this is a common problem in grand cherokees. I even had an associate that sold his for similar problem. While braking on highway the car violently shakes and is dangerous. This is the vehicle i transport my child in and it is not a responsible feeling i get when i put her in the car. Chrylser needs to address this issue with their customers. Looking at research i did this problem goes back at least 8 years. *jb |
