I'd love to tell you how many problems I've had with this 2001 Grand Cherokee Limited - but we've only had 2 - so far. Replaced the fuel pump at 47K, and we're experiencing the same brake rotor problem apparently everyone is having. We replaced the rotors and calipers at 48K and apparently now, at 61K, we got to replace the rotors once again. This time, however, we've decided to take it to an independent for some after-market rotors to hopefully alleviate future replacements.
The 2001 is the most comfortable vehicle either of us have ever driven. It glides down the road. If given the opportunity, I'd buy another one exactly like it!
We also own a 2000 Cherokee (36K) and a 1994 Grand Cherokee (244K). No complaints about either of those. The 94 has given us years of stress free driving with only regular maintenance required. I'm expecting to get at least 300K out of that one. Even the body has held up wonderfully!!!
I do have the same rotor problem. The dealer suggests that this problem is likely to happen again. In the other word, I will need to change the rotor every year or so. Chrysler told me today there is no permanent fix of this problem either. I will have to pay $250 - $300 for being the owner of this SUV.
Do you find any permanent solution to this problem?
I would love to hear from anyone who has replaced their rotors with not oem parts and how that has worked for you? $300.00 as a one shot fix would be fine with me as I have 50,000 miles miles on my jeep and will be going on my 5th set of brakes. I have not had to pay for anything as of yet, but I know next time I will have to. They wanted me to pay last time as I was out of warranty, but raised a huge stink so the dealership covered it. If buying after market rotors will solve the problem that would be great. Anybody have luck with this so far? zin, wi.
