Issue with brakes wearing and warping down after 10,000 miles after new brakes and rotors are replaced.
37000 miles, 4 sets of rotors, 4 sets of brake pads, the current set has only 1000 miles on it and rotors are already warped and cut marks on them, in less than 5 months. Jeep service mechanics have said off the record this is a known problem with these jeeps but they are pushing all the costs off to consumers to keep fixing it, and it took a lot for any of them to finally admit it’s a known problem with the front dusk brakes on Jeep renegades.
If you have my jeep renegade in drive and you open a door it activates the emergency brake. My husband was in a wreck in the lowes parking lot. He hadn’t shut his door right and so he opened the driver door slightly which activated the emergency brake which in turn caused him to slam into a parked car. I don’t see how this is a safety feature at all.
VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 2000 MILES AND THE BRAKES ARE MAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.
