Consumer Description

REAR BREAK COMPONENTS (PADS, ROTORS, LR CALIPER) AT 30K ON 12/10/09. FRONT PADS REPLACES ON 1/14/10 AT APPX 31K: FRONT PADS AND ROTORS ON 4/2012 (3RD SET) AT 58K CALIPERS NOT FROZEN: THIS VEHICLE YEAR WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE 4.0 L ENGINE. ALREADY ENGINE NO LONGER AN OPTION: LATER MODEL YEARS (2010 AND LATER) HAVE LARGER CALLIPERS AND PADS. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE WAS REDESIGNED AND OFFERED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS SO NEW THAT MY OWNER MANUAL DOESN'T REFERENCE THE 4.0 LITER ENGINE. THIS MODEL YEAR HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF PREMATURE BREAK WEAR. *JS
