| While on vacation we suddenly lost our front brakes on both sides of our jeep cherokee sport. when a local mechanic looked at it, he discovered that both front rotors had rusted and completely separated from themselves. the flat larger part that the brake pads clings to, were not attached to the smaller part that the wheel is hooked to. luckily we were able to stop the vehicle with the emergency brake and were unhurt. the mechanic said that he had never seen both rotors go at the same time. upon questioning the dealership where we bought the vehicle, they relunctently said that there was a recall, but people were not notified. after searching your sight, i found such a recall, but for older models. our's is a 1995 jeep cherokee and we could have been killed by such a safety hazard. we are currently trying to come to some resolution with the dealership, regarding our repair bill. why are owners not being notified of these safety hazards?? please update the recall to extend to newer vehicles!! please contact us with further information. thank you. shanon albee | |||

| Dt: the contact noticed on september 30, 2005 a customer brought in a 1995 jeep cherokee. the rotors came apart in two pieces which was not due to wear. the contact was an automobile technician for thirty years. there was no warning or noise prior. put brakes on this vehicle about a year or so ago. this was not something one could see happening. . the metal was so thin that after a period of time it just came apart and was just from normal braking. when it came apart apart it put all of the pressure on the other brake which wason one brake. this will cause the steering wheel to jerk and could cause the vehicle to flip. *sc. *ak | |||

| I acquired this vehicle specifically because it had 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. a few weeks ago, for the first time, i had to perform a hard brake to avoid hitting three deer. much to my surprise, i had hard pedal but virtually no brakes! i narrowly avoided oncoming traffic and limped into my driveway. noone could understand how i could have hard pedal without brakes. (all relays proved to be okay.) i had the car towed to a local tire dealer to see if they could determine what was wrong. they were astonished to find that both rotors had separated from their hubs as the result of the hard brake. they advised that they thought it had to be a defect in the metal and advised me to take it to my local jeep dealer, cooper motors, in stevens point, wisconsin. the service manager at cooper motors was so astonished to see the separated parts, that he called all the service technicians to the counter to see the parts. however, most of them acknowledged that they had seen this before on a routine basis. if jeep rotor are separating from their hubs and causinig accidents, who would know? if it were discovered during a crash investigation, it would be assumed that it was the consequence of the accident, while, in fact it may actually be the cause! jeep's comments were to advise me that rotors were only warranteed to 10,000 miles; no mention that one should expect rotors to dis-attach! | |||

| In april 2000 my vehicle was taken to triboro in response to the recall that called for the rotors to be replaced. in september 2000 i returned the vehicle to triboro a unrelated repair and was informed that the brakes and rotors needed replacement. upon returning home we realized that the rotors were alledgedly new however a brake repair shop related that the rotors appear to be old and not the new coated rotors required under the recall. upon contact with triboro and having them check their computer to confirm the new rotors we were told that we probably wore them out with bad pads. we tryed to reason with them in regards to the unlikelihood of new rotors needing replacement after only 10,000 miles, but they were un yielding. in contacting the chysler corporation recall division, we were instructed to take the vehicle to another dealer and get a estimate on the replacement of brakes and the condition of the rotors, at our expense. we are very concerned now about having to put out money to confirm that the recall replacement was not performed. in contact with our local congressional office has informed us that it is best to contact this office and that the necessary action would be taken to correct this matter. thank you for your time and anticipated cooperation in this matter.*ak | |||
