1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Brakes Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON A SLICK SURFACE, AS IT WAS RAINING, LIGHTLY. THE PERSON DRIVING IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT AT A YELLOW LIGHT AND I APPLIED MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES FAILED AND I CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE, MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, AND MY FRONT END WAS SMASHED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A TOTAL. MY BRAKES SHOULD HAVE DONE WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO - WORK. *TR

THIS IS A TEST FROM DOT OIG REGARDING AUDIT 10M3003M000. PLEASE CALL SCOTT AT XXX-XXX-XXXX. FOLLOW-UP BY FB, TM, AND LH ON 7/9/2010.

BRAKE FLUID LINE CORROSION. IF IT CORRODES THROUGH, BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK. LOSE REAR BRAKES. NO FAILURE YET. WILL NEED TO REPLACE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 TO 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING ON THE FRONT END WITH EXTREME FORCE. THE BRAKES WERE WARPED AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSED THE SHAKING TO BE MORE EXCESSIVE. A MECHANIC REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND THE FAILURE RECURRED AT 120,000. A FIRESTONE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BRAKES ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THEY FAILED AGAIN AT 150,000. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALLS 00V136000 OR 06E022000. THE PURCHASE DATE IS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

RE: NHTSA CAMPAIGN 00V136000 DEALER IS STALLING TO DELAY MAKING REPAIRS. *NM

1996 JEEP CHEROKEE REAR BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED SEVERELY.*MR *NM

WHILE BRAKING THERE WOULD BE A GRINDING NOISE, THEN VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK BRAKE ROTOR SEPARATED WHILE VEHICLE IN OPERATION. VEHICLE , SOUDS LKE METAL RUBBING METAL. *TC

THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR, STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND A MAIL BOX . AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL FOR THE EXISTING CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS WORN. *JB RECALL# 02V053000. *SC

THE VEHICLE'S FRONT ROTORS WERE STARTING TO PIT AND CORRODE. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. RECALL # 00 V 136 000. *NM BOTH DEALER AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HONOR RECALL REPAIR ON CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. THEY'RE CLAIMING THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WAS NOT IN OHIO WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED. *LA

BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE BRAKE RECALL. IT SEEMS THAT THEY DID WHAT THE RECALL REQUIRED BUT SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *LA

CONSUMER STATED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES HEARD LOUD NOISE. ALSO, THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT BRAKE ROTOR SEPARATED FROM WHEEL CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

LEFT FRONT BRAKE ROTOR SEIZED. HAD TO HAVE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, LINES, FLUID REPLACED

I HAD THE JEEP DEALER REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS ON MY 96 JEEP CHEROKEE COUNTRY PER THE RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. WITHIN 20K MILES THE ROTORS WERE SEVERELY WARPED, HOT SPOTTED AND HAD SMALL CRACKS IN SEVERAL PLACES ON BOTH SIDES OF EACH ROTOR. WHEN THEY WERE TURNED, "SOFT" SPOTS WERE REVEALED IN THE METAL AND BOTH ROTORS - EVEN WHEN TURNED DOWN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MINIMUM THICKNESS. THEY WERE DEEMED UNSALVAGEABLE AND I HAD TO GET ANOTHER NEW SET LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER RECALL REPLACEMENTS WERE INSTALLED. THE INCIDENT DATE IS APPROXIMATE. I WILL NEED TO FIND THE RECEIPTS TO KNOW THE EXACT DATES. TS

REAR BRAKES LOCKED ON AT LEAST 25 OCCASIONS. USUALLY HAPPENS IN FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING, AND WHEN WET. BRAKES WERE REPAIRED BY DODGE/JEEP DEALER 2 MONTHS AGO STILL LOCKED. CHECKED BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC LAST WEEK, COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. YESTERDAY MORNING AT ABOUT 9:00 A.M. DURING STEADY RAIN, APPLIED BRAKES AT 55 MILES PER HOUR TO SLOW VEHICLE FOR CAR IN FRONT THAT HAD APPLIED BRAKES. BRAKES LOCKED AND VEHICLE FISH TAILED TO RIGHT, SPUN AT LEAST TWICE, TIPPED OVER AND HIT GUARD RAIL AT LEAST TWICE. I WAS EXTRACTED FROM VEHICLE WITH ONLY MINOR CUT TO HAND AND GLASS IN NOSTRIL. VEHICLE IS TOTALED. EARLIER LAST YEAR OUR 25 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED, WHERE SHE CAME TO REST IN A DITCH. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM. SUBSEQUENT TO ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, I TALKED WITH TWO OTHER OWNERS OF SAME TYPE VEHICLE WHO EXPERIENCE SAME PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS. REAR BRAKES LOCK, ESPECIALLY FIRST THING IN MORNING AND WHEN THEY ARE WET. CERTIFIED AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC SUGGESTED A COMPONENT THAT CONTROLS HYDRAULIC FLUID TO ALL BRAKES EQUALLY COULD BE THE PROBLEM. WOULD APPRECIATE STATISTICS ON THIS PROBLEM IF AVAILABLE, ESPECIALLY OCCURANCES WHERE ACCIDENTS RESULTED. DT

WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR. CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD 2 BRAKE REPAIRS PERFORMED ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS.*JB

COMPONENTS ARE IDENTIFIED BY NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:00V136000. I HAVE RESIDED IN MD SINCE APRIL 1996 AND HAD THE DEALER PERFORM WORK ON BRAKES 7/01/02 AND THEN TO HAVE BRAKE PADS REPLACED ON 9/24/02, BUT DEALER ENCOUNTERED THE CAMPAIGN ISSUE BUT WILL NOT FIX FOR FREE. NLM

THE FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS HAS SERERE CORROSION, CAUSING THE WEAR SURFACE TOO SEPARATE FROM THE HUB. THIS CORROSION DIDN'T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT BUT OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. RECALLS HAVE OCCUR IN OTHER STATES, THIS STATE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED ALSO.

EMERGENCY BRAKE PAD RUNNING AROUND INNER CIRCLE OF REAR ROTORS BROKE, LOCKING WHEELS, AND PREVENTING VEHICLE'S MOVEMENT.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND WHEN BRAKING THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. *AK

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE IS EXPERINCEING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BRAKE MOTOR AS MENTIONED IN RECALL 00 V 136 000. *AK MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO APPLY RECALL REPAIRS TO VEHICLE BECAUSE DELAWARE WAS NOT LISTED IN RECALL NOTICE, CONSUMER PURCHASED AND DROVE VEHICLE EXTENSIVELY IN DELAWARE, THE FIRST SIGN OF CORROSION CAUSED CONSUMER TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE RIGHT FRONT ROTOR AND RESURFACE THE LEFT FRONT ROTOR, THE SECOND SIGN OF CORROSION REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE RESURFACED ROTOR, THE REAR ROTORS WERE ALSO EXHIBITING CORROSION DAMAGE. *SLC

SLID OUT OF CONTROL AFTER SLOWING DOWN ON HIGHWAY, CAR PULLED LEFT AND WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED TWICE AND THE CAR STILL VIBRATES WHEN SLOWING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

FRONT TIRES HAD TO CONSTANLY BE REPLACED, BECAUSE THEY WOR OUT AT A RAPID PACE, RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THE RIGHT FRONT ROTOR WERE ON RECALL.

THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THAT FRONT ROTORS WILL BE REPLACED DUE TO GRINDING NOISE AND SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. *AK

LAST PROBLEM WITH ROTORS WAS IN NOVEMBER 1999, 59,000 TOTAL MILES. FRONT ROTORS WARPED CAUSING PULSATION OF BRAKE PEDAL. REPORTED THE HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM TO THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, 1-800-992-1997. WAS TOLD THAT BASED ON MY VEHICLE'S VIN # NO RECALL WAS WARRANTED. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT OTHER 1996 JEEP CHEROKEES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME REASON AND I FIND IT APPALLING THAT ALL JEEPS WITH ROTOR PROBLEMS HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? A FATAL ACCIDENT, LIKE THE FIRESTONE ONES, FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE. NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ROTORS EVERY TWO YEARS. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS.*AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS COST US OVER $3,000 IN THE FIRST 1 YEAR AND HALF WE HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH THIS LITTLE OF MILEAGE AND HAD EVERYTHING GO UP. WE FEEL THIS AUTO IS A TOTAL LEMON AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WE HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING NOR HAD IT ON ANYTHING OTHER SURFACE OTHER THAN A PAVED ROAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IF ANYTHING YOU CAN DO FOR US, BUT LETTING THE NHTSA KNOW ABOUT THIS VEHICLE IS SOME REASSURANCE. WHAT REALLY UPSETS ME IS THAT WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A SUPPOSED REPUTABLE DEALER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
