1994 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE ROTOR WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 99V340000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 228,088.

1994 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR BRAKES, TURN SIGNALS, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK, ALSO, THE HEATER WENT OFF EVERY 15-20 MINUTES, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD, DUE TO A BAD SWITCH, AND THERE WERE EXPOSED WIRES UNDER THE DASH. *JB

WE HAD TWO (2) GOODYEAR VIVA II TIRES PUT ON THE REAR OF OUR JEEP, SIZE P215/75R15, AT WALMART SERVICE CENTER AT 3400 NORTH 85TH ST, LINCOLN, NE 68507 ON 07-27-2013 AND THEN TWO (2) MORE GOODYEAR VIVA II TIRES PUT ON THE FRONT ON 8/7/2013. AFTER HAVING THE FIRST 2 TIRES PUT ON THE REAR, WE NOTICED INDENTS IN THE SIDEWALLS GOING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TREADS. I SPOKE TO THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A DEFECT, THAT THIS WAS THE STRONGEST PART OF THE TIRE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY TOLD HIM IN THE TRAINING COURSE. AFTER HAVING THE FRONT TIRES PUT ON, WE NOTICED THE SAME INDENTS IN THE TIRES BUT THEY WERE MORE SEVERE. BEFORE THE TIRES WERE PUT ON, I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN TO TORQUE THE LUG NUTS TO 85 FT/LBS AS THAT IS WHAT THE JEEP MANUFACTURER MANUAL STATES. THE TECHNICIAN REFUSED AND TOLD US THAT HE TORQUED EVERY WHEEL AT 100 FT/LBS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT HE WAS TOLD TO DO IN HIS TRAINING. MY WIFE, SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GOODYEAR THE NEXT MORNING ABOUT OUR CONCERNS ABOUT DEFECTIVE TIRES AND SHE BEGAN A CLAIM IMMEDIATELY. SHE HAD US TAKE OUR VEHICLE TO GRAHAM TIRE IN LINCOLN WHERE THEY PUT 4 NEW UPGRADED GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES ON OUR VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. DURING THE TIRE SWITCH OUT, GRAHAM TIRE SHOWED US THAT THE FRONT FACE OF THE ROTOR WAS BADLY BENT DUE TO THE ROTOR NOT SITTING ON THE STUD CORRECTLY AND THE WALMART TECHNICIAN OVER-TORQUED THEM AT 100 FT/LBS WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TORQUED AT 85 FT/LBS ACCORDING TO THE JEEP MANUFACTURERS MANUAL. WE HAD THE ROTOR AND STUDS REPLACED BY GRAHAM TIRE AND WALMART PAID FOR THIS WORK AND PARTS. EVERY TIRE AND RIM IS TORQUED DIFFERENTLY ACCORDING TO THE MANUALS. WALMART IS TORQUEING LUG NUTS AT 100 FT/LBS AND WILL NOT LISTEN TO MANUFACTURE SPECS. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE WHEEL STUDS ARE GOING TO BREAK AND WHEELS ARE GOING TO COME OFF VEHICLES.

FRONT ROTORS RECALLED AND REPLACED BY JEEP, REPLACED ROTORS WARPED AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND 5,000 MILES. DEALER SAYS ROTORS WARPED AND REQUIRE RESURFACING. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY WARRANTY OF THEIR OWN REPLACEMENT PARTS AFTER THIS SHORT PERIOD, CLAIMING THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD WARRANTY THEIR REPLACEMNT PARTS ON A RECALL OF A FAILED BRAKE COMPONENT, AT LEAST FOR 12 MONTHS.*AK

THE JEEP LOOKS GREAT BUT THE WAY IT RUNS SOUNDS HORIBLE AND NOBODY GIVES ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER

THIS IS MORE A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ROTOR RECALL BEING INCOMPLETE. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER, AND CHRYSLER IT SEEMS THAT WITHIN THE RECALL WORDING THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT ALREADY EXIST TO BE CAUSED BY IMPROPER PRACTICES. WHENEVER A BRAKE ROTOR IS EITHER REPLACED OR RESURFACED THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS DONE TO INSURE THAT YOU DON'T GET FOREIGN DEBRIS IN THE BRAKE CONTACT AREA. THE RECALL LEAVES AN OPEN IN, DEALERS HAVING AN OPTION NOT TO REPLACE THE PADS. WHEN IN FACT MECHANICS ARE TAUGHT TO DO THE REPLACEMENT ANYTIME ROTORS ARE RESURFACED OR REPLACED. WHEN CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED THEY PUT THE BALL IN THE DEALERS COURT WHEN ISSUES CONCERNING PAD REPLACEMENT ARISE THEN THE DEALER IN TURN DOES THE SAME. CONSUMERS ARE FORCED TO BUY THE PADS WHICH SHOULD BE PART OF THIS RECALL TO BEGIN WITH. THEY ALSO GET HIT WITH A LABOR CHARGE THAT IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE THE WORK IS TO BE DONE WHENEVER THE CALIPERS ARE TAKEN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR ANYREASON. JEEPS OWN SERVICE MANUAL STATES SPECIFIC PROCEDURES ON THE SERVICING OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS. THEY ALSO TELL HOW THE BRAKES WORK . JUST IN THE DESCRIPTION ITSELF ON HOW THE PADS AND ROTORS WORK IS EXPLANATION ENOUGH ON WHY YOU WOULDN'T USE USED PADS WITH NEW/RESURFACED ROTORS AND VICE-VERSA. PEOPLE ARE PUT AT RISK BECOUSE IF THEY MAKE THE WRONG CHOICE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON DECIDING TO REPLACE THE PADS OR NOT THEY ARE THEN THE ONES AT RISK OF FACING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM THAT JEEP IS SUPPOSIDLY TRYING TO RENDER. I HAVE COPIES OF COMPLAINTS, LETTERS, PAGES FROM THE SERVICE MANUAL, RECIEPTS AND OTHER AGENCIES I HAVE CONTACTED. SO FAR IT SEEMS THAT NOONE IS INTERESTED IN TRYING TO PREVENT A POTENTIAL PROBLEM DUE TO THE SEEMED OVERSIGHT OR NEGLIGENCE OF CHRYSLER. THEY ARE POSSIBLY TRYING TO DEFRAY SOME OF THE COST BY IGNORING WHAT EVERY MECHANIC, COLLEGE, AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS DEALERS ALL AGREE THAT THIS IS IMPROPER. *AK

JEEP HAD A RECALL REGIONAL #747 FOR DISC RUST FOR 1993, BUT NOT 1994. I SENT COPIES OF REPLACEMENT DISC INVOICE TO CHRYSLER, BUT WAS TOLD THE 1994'S WERE NOT COVERED. IT WOULD APPEAR THE 94'S SUFFER FROM THE SAME RUST PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY SUMMER AFTERNOON. WHEN THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED, I APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE PEDAL WHEN HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR, CAUGHT, THE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES. LUCKILY, I REMEMBERED TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH MADE ME STOP IMMEDIATELY ONLY TAPPING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I PULLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I STILL HAD A FULL PEDAL BUT IF I PUT IT IN GEAR, I HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE HOM LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. IT HAD OLY CHECKED THE BRAKES TWO WEEKS PRIOR AND TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. WHEN HE PULLED OFF THE WHEEL HE FOUND THAT THE ROTOR HAD SEPARATED FROM THE DISC ON BOTH OF MY FRONT WHEELS LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES. WE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS FOR THE BRAKES AND FOUND NONE FOR THE 1994 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. HOWEVER, THE 1989 TO 1993 MODEL YEARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE ISN'T AS LUCKY AS I AM AND GETS KILLED

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A PLEASANT SUMMER AFTERNOON. WHEN I WENT TO STOP IN TRAFFIC MY BRAKES FAILED. I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SO THAT I COULD STOP BUT I STILL TAPPED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY GARAGE WHERE THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES. THEY FOUND THAT BOTH FRONT ROTORS HAD BROKE LOOSE FROM THE DISC GIVING ME NO BRAKES WHATSOEVER. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED ONLY TWO WEEKS PRIOR FOR WEAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE GOOD. WE CHECKED WITH TARBOX MOTORS TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE BRAKES BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL ONLY APPLIED TO THE 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED INSTEAD OF BEING LUCKY LIKE ME AND BE DOING ONLY 20 WHEN IT HAPPENED. I
