2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America
"A real lemon!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1-3-03 (7,574 miles) Brakes were pulsating, updated calipers and replaced rotors.
3-25-03 (9,650 miles) Transmission control module shorted, replaced T.C.M.,solenoid pack.
10-21-03 (14,613 miles) Brakes pulsating again, dealer found excessive runout front brake rotors and both front and back warped. They resurfaced the rear brake rotors and replaced the front.
4-16-04 (18,883 miles) Pulsating again! Replaced both front rotors due to excessive runout and warping.
6-1-04 Brakes are squeaking today.
General comments?
We are currently in the process of talking to the manufacturer and the Attorney General. The manufacturer is offering to put vented rotors on our vehicle and says this will fix all the problems. We are asking for reimbursement. If this was the fix, why wasn't it done several brake jobs ago. No one wanted to work with us until a letter went out. I believe this is a tactic to put us over our warranty time.
