| 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 | |||
