IllustrationBRAKE ROTORS WARPED. THREE TIMES WITHIN A FOUR YEAR PERIOD WITH ONLY 31,000 MILES. ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR BY DEALER AND THE OTHER TWO TIMES HAVE BEEN MY COST. CHRYSLER REFUSES TAKE MAKE IT RIGHT BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO ONLY AFFECT 3-4% OF THEIR JEEPS ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECH. *JB

I WAS BACKING MY CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN I REALIZED THAT I FORGOT SOMETHING. I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD. I TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. AFTER TRYING TO PUT IN DIFFERENT GEARS, I REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT GOING TO GO INTO ANY GEAR. I WAS FORCED TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND PUT THE PARKING BREAK ON. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ON A HILL SINCE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. SINCE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR, THE CAR'S SAFETY FEATURE KICKED IN AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO RE-START IT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A GARAGE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE HAD BROKEN. THE CHARGE WAS $200.00, WHICH INCLUDED THE TOWING. MY CAR HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I AM NOT HARD ON THIS CAR AND NO ONE ELSE DRIVES IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO A CAR OF THIS AGE. IN FACT, NO ONE I KNOW HAS EVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANY CAR. I FEEL THIS PART MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. THE MECHANIC SAID "IT JUST BROKE". I ASKED IF IT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED, LIKE A FOREIGN OBJECT BREAKING IT. HE SAID "NO". HAD I BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS ON A STEEP HILL I WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE PARKING BREAK ALONE WOULD HAVE HELD SINCE I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO INTO PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR TO MOVE IT. WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE? I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME. THE PART WAS REPLACED AND SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PART. *NM
