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

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.

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.

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
