| Description of the problem | While driving @ 55-60 mph and applying the brakes my 2006 jeep wrangler shakes like it is going to fall apart. It has less than 12000 miles on it and this is the 2nd pair of rotors within a short period of time, around 3 months. Now i'm told by the service department that its my driving style, that i should down shift to make it easier on the brakes. Which i already do down shift. The repair was taken care of free of charge because of the short period of time between the rotor changes. But, that the next time i will have to pay for it!! Let me tell you that i'm pissed!!! This is bull &*$# and i'm not going to be pushed over and told its the way i drive, when its apparent that there is something else causing the problem. Funny, i don't need brake pads but the rotors keep $%&in' up... A defect or what. Excuse my language but, i'm a 43 year old woman that doesn't want to be jerked around by my service dept. And told its my driving style! I want something done about it. I only lease this vehicle and if i could give it back today... I would!!! I also intend to e-mail chrysler about this also.
