VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY DEALERSHIP ON 8/9/2000 FOR A RECALL ISSUED BY JEEP REGARDING DEFECTIVE FROM BRAKE ROTORS. ROTORS WERE REPLACE BY DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH A CHARGE OF $100 FOR NEW PADS (VEHICLE ONLY HAD 23,175 MILES). BRAKES WORKED FINE PRIOR TO THE RECALL, HOWEVER SINCE THE REPAIR THEY SQUEAK FROM TIME TO TIME AND HAD BEGUN TO GET WORSE. ON 8/9/2001, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP REFUSHED TO REPLACE PARTS, COMMENTING "IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM THE JEEPS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FRONT BRAKES. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A JEEP WITH NEW BRAKE PADS TO EAT THROUGH THE ROTORS IN LESS THAN 9,000 MILES. IT YOU WANT IT FIXED YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS." THE REPAIR INVOICE NOW STATES "VEHICLE NEEDS ROTORS, CUSTOMER DECLINE AT THIS TIME" BECAUSE I WILL NOT PAY THEM TO FIX A KNOWN JEEP DEFECT. PROBLEM WAS THEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF CHYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHOSE SOLUTION WAS THAT I BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS $75 FOR INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES SO THAT THEY COULD PROCESS A REPORT. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH ME TO REVIEW THE PARTS, HOWEVER IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE $75 INSPECTION. I AM NOW STUCK WITH THE OPTION OF PAYING CHYRSLER AN ADDTIONAL $75 (WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY CREATED) OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET.
