| Description of the problem | Car was pulsating and shaking terribly when brakes were applied at 18,000 miles. Was told i needed new rotors and that they are not covered under warranty. I told the repair manager there was no way i paid $33,000 for my grand cherokee and was paying $600 to get new rotors every year. I called chrysler and they said they would repair under warranty. At 29,000 miles, i have been told that i need new rotors again. Called chrysler again and... Too bad they are not covered. This is bull, there is no way i would spend $33,000 on a car that needs to have rotors replaced yearly. I will never buy another jeep and its too bad, i had no brake issues with my last one. *jb |
