2006 Jeep Wrangler Brakes Problems

“I purchased my Jeep in april of 2006. The vehicle started shaking every time I would put my foot on the brake or travel between 55 & 60 MPH. I took it back to the dealer with 19,000 miles on it, 03/14/07, and was told that the rotors were warped - they smoothed them down, charged me $229.00 and told me that it was the way that I drove. That repair was not covered by the warranty!”

“Death wobble on a 2006 Jeep. I was going 55 and had it happen took it to a shop they said my tires needed to be balanced. A week later it happened at 58 MPH and I lost control of the Jeep going off the rad took it in to the shop they said it was my brakes. After the brakes it still happened at 58 MPH I have new brakes , shocks, brake pads, balanced, steering rod total of over 2000.00 and 5 days of my time.”

“The vehicle began shaking when brakes were applied, more violently the faster the vehicle was going. I had this checked at a brake shop first, where they said the pads were fine, but the rotor was warped. I then took it to the tire shop to have the tires rotated and balanced, although this was also just done a few months prior. I was instructed to take it to the dealer since the vehicle has only 23000 miles on it. …”

“Front brakes on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler with 8785 miles on it vibrate violently when making a sudden stop at speeds around 50-60 miles. During a sudden stop the steering wheel was almost ripped from my hands. Took the Wrangler to the dealer. Dealer stated that chrysler does not warrant wear items. Dealer machined front brake rotors. Test drove and brakes worked ok. My concern is for my safety. With machined rotors now the rotors are thinner (weaker) then before.”

“The car experienced violent front end wobble when going over uneven pavement, more severe when brakes were applied. The dealer said that the brake rotors were warped and replaced them (there was only approx. 11,000 miles on the car at that time, which I had bought new). The problem recurred off and on, but to a lesser degree. The problem recurred in the summer of 2009, with less than 20,000 miles driven. I had the front stabilizer bar replaced on 9-3-11. The problem continues to occur sometimes to a lesser degree and sometimes to a greater degree depending on vehicle speed. …”
