Report: Brake Pulsations Due to Warped Front Brake Rotors
Jeep Grand Cherokee Problem
Model Years Affected: 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
Average Mileage: 92,803 mi (25,000 mi - 162,222 mi)
Due to warped front brake rotors or variations in the thickness of the rotors, brake pulsations may develop. The best method to reduce pulsations is to use an "On the Car" brake lathe (as long as the rotors are suitable for turning). "On the Car" equipment can correct variations (or "runout") in the rotor surfaces because it also corrects variations in other components (e.g. the hub).

Jeeps must be notorious for the rotor warping! I had to replace mine at 65000 miles-but the brake pads were still good...weird..my daughter has a 2002 and she replaces the rotors every 2 years....crazy!
