Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A NEW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO IN MAY OF 2001. IN JULY 2005, I NOTICED A PULSATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS GREATER THAN FORTY MPH. THE DEALER SAID THE ROTORS WERE WARPED, AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THE COST WOULD BE OVER $300.00. THE CAR HAS 13,00 MILES. BUT IT IS OVER 3 YEARS OLD, SO REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON, AND APPEARS TO BE LINKED TO THE CALIPERS AS WELL AS THE ROTORS. REPLACING THE CALIPERS WITH DESIGN, AS WELL AS THE ROTORS AND PADS REPORTEDLY ELIMINATED RECURRENT PROBLEMS. IS A RECALL JUSTIFIED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM? *JB
