2004 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1083720
Internal NHTSA #	10608069
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2004
File date	03/10/05
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After only 9,000 miles the rotors were so warped the car shook violently when brakes were applied. I replaced the rotors. 10,000 miles later the same thing happened again. No one would "officially" admit that the rotors and or the calipers are too small for the v8 version of the jeep. I have replaced the rotors with aftermarket slotted and vented rotors 3 more times at a significant expense to me. The dangerous part of this is it warps quickly and causes the car to be hard to control while breaking: not a good situation. In my opinion they should have to put a larger braking system together "larger rotors and calipers to dissipate the heat properly in the v8 version of the 2004 and probably other grand cherokee.
