2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Substandard"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pulsation 19,000,water leak Thru rear window 19,600,A/C compressor 21,000, left rear door handle lock 24,000, Both Front Rotors 24,300 dealer replaced..
CV joint (Right front 29,000.
Both Front Rotors again,38,000 out of warranty had Midas turn them worked OK until we hit about 50,000 and back to the same. Dealer Bob Howard Crown Jeep/BMW service said that was a factory defect they had put smaller size rotors for that size of SUV. that I would have to, but another set of newly designed rotor which were bigger and I would have to foot the bill because Chrysler would replace them free to all under warranty and go 1/2 if 50,000 miles or less. I had to pay over $500 dollars to buy this new kit and have it installed. 2-Rotors, Pads, Caliper equals one very pissed off customer and a NEW Japanese car buyer.
