2000 Jeep Cherokee Brakes Problems

“Brakes failed for no apparent reason. Was sitting in drive through waiting to pick something up and when I took my foot off the brake to put it in drive I had no more brakes and brake fluid was shooting out the bottom right passenger side of Jeep. Luckily my emergency brake worked and I was able to stop without killing or hurting anyone. Mechanic charged me $500.00 to fix it and told me that the brake line was rotted and needed to be replaced in addition the hoses were no good. This was the second time I lost brakes on this Jeep during my ownership. The first time was 5 years before this date.”

“In oct 2000 lis. A Jeep from damiolier chysler. In 2002 the Jeep was all over the road took to thier shop they cut the rotters the Jeep only had 6,000 miles in the year 2003 hda to return not even a year had gone by and they re-cut the rotors with only 12,000 mile on the Jeep[. This is the year 2005 the Jeep has only 24,000 miles and since dec. 2004 it started again. The place where I got the car is no longer in nj now it will cost me 500.00 to fix something which should have been fix right the first time.”

“These vehicles definitely have a problem with front end vibration and rotors. 5401 miles I need new rotors, at 23,000 miles new brakes and resurfacing rotors and replacing bearings. Dealer now says it is normal wear. I don't drive the vehicle that far maybe 20 miles a day if I'm lucky. Now this is going to be an ongoing problem with this vehicle and would like to have something done about it. Vehicle also making noises dealer cannot hear or duplicate. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768034”

“My 2000 Jeep Cherokee was purchased new in 2000. Since then, my front brakes and rotors have had to be replaced every 7000 miles. The dealer replaced them at 7000 miles and after that refused. Said it was normal wear and tear after 10,000 miles and not under warranty. Said it was because I drive my vehicle for work (post office) and stop a lot. There are 35 pages of complaints on the internet stating exactly the same problem at every 7000 miles and 54 complaints on your site with the same problem. When the rotors warp, the car is very difficult to stop safely at 40 to 55 MPH. …”

“When driving at an undetermined speed, the front end vibrated. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection and the mechanic determined that the front rotors failed. The consumer stated that front rotors were replaced three times, every 15,000 miles. The consumer found three other vehicles of the same make/model experienced that same problem.”
