DT: THE CONTACT NOTICED ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 A CUSTOMER BROUGHT IN A 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE ROTORS CAME APART IN TWO PIECES WHICH WAS NOT DUE TO WEAR. THE CONTACT WAS AN AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN FOR THIRTY YEARS. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR NOISE PRIOR. PUT BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING ONE COULD SEE HAPPENING. . THE METAL WAS SO THIN THAT AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME IT JUST CAME APART AND WAS JUST FROM NORMAL BRAKING. WHEN IT CAME APART APART IT PUT ALL OF THE PRESSURE ON THE OTHER BRAKE WHICH WASON ONE BRAKE. THIS WILL CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK AND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO FLIP. *SC. *AK

IN APRIL 2000 MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TRIBORO IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL THAT CALLED FOR THE ROTORS TO BE REPLACED. IN SEPTEMBER 2000 I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO TRIBORO A UNRELATED REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. UPON RETURNING HOME WE REALIZED THAT THE ROTORS WERE "ALLEDGEDLY NEW" HOWEVER A BRAKE REPAIR SHOP RELATED THAT THE ROTORS APPEAR TO BE OLD AND NOT THE NEW COATED ROTORS REQUIRED UNDER THE RECALL. UPON CONTACT WITH TRIBORO AND HAVING THEM CHECK THEIR COMPUTER TO CONFIRM THE "NEW ROTORS" WE WERE TOLD THAT WE PROBABLY WORE THEM OUT WITH BAD PADS. WE TRYED TO REASON WITH THEM IN REGARDS TO THE UNLIKELIHOOD OF NEW ROTORS NEEDING REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 10,000 MILES, BUT THEY WERE UN YIELDING. IN CONTACTING THE CHYSLER CORPORATION RECALL DIVISION, WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND GET A ESTIMATE ON THE REPLACEMENT OF BRAKES AND THE CONDITION OF THE ROTORS, AT OUR EXPENSE. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED NOW ABOUT HAVING TO PUT OUT MONEY TO CONFIRM THAT THE RECALL REPLACEMENT WAS NOT PERFORMED. IN CONTACT WITH OUR LOCAL CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE HAS INFORMED US THAT IT IS BEST TO CONTACT THIS OFFICE AND THAT THE NECESSARY ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN TO CORRECT THIS MATTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ANTICIPATED COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER.*AK
