“Front brake rotors found to be corroded but not worn, imho not safe to reuse. Minnesota not considered in the rust belt to be covered under current recall, you've got to be kidding! The problem is that people in minnesota are driving around on corroded front rotors like I found on my Jeep and are not being notified of the danger.”
NHTSA complaint #718645, filed 2000-02“I have been having numerous problems with front end, tried numerous cures, and am still having same problem. While driving, the front end will begin to shake, when I slow down to 30-35mph, it will go away. It is not a constant problem, but will happen at least once a day. I have replaced front rotors due to excessive vibration while driving. The dealer has replaced several times, had an independent change this time. Now am experiencing a constant noise from front end.”
NHTSA complaint #718062, filed 2000-01“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #714184, filed 1999-11“I would like to know why the state of minnesota is not included in campaignid#99v340000. I just had to have my rotors and pads replaced at only 54,000miles because of rust damage.”
NHTSA complaint #719194, filed 2000-02“The contact owns a 1995 Jeep Cherokee. While driving 20 MPH, the brakes failed to respond when the pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The contact mentioned that the air bags had a delayed deployment. A police report was filed. The contact sustained some broken ribs and injuries to the neck, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 99v340000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 95v057000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. …”
