1993 JEEP CHEROKEE Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

DT: THE OWNER WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND FRONT END SHOOK. OWNER CALLED DEALER, WHO STATED VEHICLE NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. THE REPAIR WAS DONE. THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED A WEEK LATER. OWNER KEPT CALLING DEALER. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANSWER. THEN, OWNER CONTACTED A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO SAID THAT THIS WAS JUST A BAD TRUCK. ABOUT WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING, GOT PULLED OVER AND RECEIVED WARNING ABOUT THE TAIL LIGHTS BEING OUT. THEN IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER, WHO REPAIRED THE TAILLIGHTS. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO PERSONAL MECHANIC, WHO PUT IN A SWITCH, BUT OWNER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SWITCH. A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE BRAKES WERE SQUEALING AND GRINDING UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS AROUND 70,000 MILES. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE VIBRATING AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN NO MORE REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. OWNER HAS NOT CONTACTED JEEP. THERE WERE NO RECALLS. IN FEBRUARY THE OIL PLUG CAME OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE OWNER'S MECHANIC AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP PAID FOR THIS. *AK

THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN BACK. IT IS LOCKED IN PLACE. I HAVE TO PULL THE WIRE OFF THE DISTRIBUTOR & THE BATTERY CABLE TO KILL IT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COMES ON. ALSO, THE HEATER, WS WIPERS & RADIO WILL NOT COME ON. MY BRAKE PEDAL STAYS DOWN CONSTANTLY, I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PULL UP ON IT EACH & EVERY TIME (THE LAW HAS STOPPED ME FOR THIS). MY BRAKES MAKE A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND AT TIMES. I HAVE FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH ALL LINKING ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. *JB
