NHTSA Complaint #10072893 — 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

WHILE I AM GENERALLY VERY SATISFIED WITH MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A CHRONIC PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED. IN 2000, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS VERY NEW, I NOTICED VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. MY JEEP WAS REPAIRED FOR WARPED ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS CUT. THEN, IN 03/02, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THEN AGAIN IN 03/03, THE SAME PROBLEM! THIS TIME, THE FOLKS AT RAMSEY JEEP TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE INSTALLING A "KIT" THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR GOOD. AT THIS TIME, I WAS VERY HAPPY TO KNOW THAT JEEP REALIZED THE PROBLEM AND THOUGHT MY TROUBLES WERE OVER. NOW IN 04/04, I AM SORRY TO REPORT THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND I DON'T NEED THE TECHNICIANS AT JEEP TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE ROTORS WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN $60000 MILES. *AK
