| Description of the problem | Front brakes on my 2006 jeep wrangler with 8785 miles on it vibrate violently when making a sudden stop at speeds around 50-60 miles. During a sudden stop the steering wheel was almost ripped from my hands. Took the wrangler to the dealer. Dealer stated that chrysler does not warrant wear items. Dealer machined front brake rotors. Test drove and brakes worked ok. My concern is for my safety. With machined rotors now the rotors are thinner (weaker) then before. |
