What owners wrote
Would go from 30 MPH and up apply the brakes and get a violent shaking. Took it to goodyear (had only 24000 btw) when we got new tires put on it and the guy said the rotors were 3/16 past turning. They wanted to charge us $875 for napa rotors. Went to the dealership they said it wasn't their problem and nothing had been reported. So seeing we were defeated we asked for prices on rotors (since we were there) $310 for driver side and $325 for passenger.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. While driving approximately 30 MPH on normal conditions, the vehicle stalled as it approached a curve. A warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and the brakes were replaced. The failure recurred, which resulted in a crash. There were no injuries; however, three vehicles were damaged. The police was called to the scene and a report was filed.
