#3 of 104 2K Laredo - New Brakes by 2klaredo Apr 18, 2007 (10:01 pm)
It has come time for me to change the brakes to my 2000 Jeep GC Lareda. I have an I6 with 4WD and need new brakes and rotors. Considering ceramic brakes, any recommendations for parts and in the replacement?

Has anyone other than myself have to re-place rotors and pads about every 10,000 miles? I'm at my wits end never mind broke. I've even tried new callipers didn't work. Now I'm told maybe we should try changing the hubs and bearings to see if this stops the warping of the rotors. Any suggestions out there other than get rid of it.

Replying to: kser (Apr 26, 2007 6:01 pm) Try replacing the rotors with vented ones. They dissipate the heat which causes the warping of the standard rotors. I have the 99 grand cherokee and lived the brake nightmare for years. But once the rotors were upgraded to the vented ones, I got a good 50K on them before my next replacement.   Good luck!

Replying to: kser (Apr 26, 2007 6:01 pm) My 2004 GC just had it's 3rd set of replacement front rotors put on it in less than 4 years. Each set seems to last 1 year. The latest ones lasted only 6,000 miles. Jeep knows they had a bad brake system in 2003 and earlier. My jeep was manufactured prior to June, 2003.

#8 of 104 Is it me or the brakes?? by ramos01 May 24, 2007 (6:04 am)
I have a 2000 GC with 90k miles. I've avoided the brake/rotor problems, still using the original rotors and replacing the brakes years ago. The past 6 months I noticed a reduced braking ability and slight pulsation. I figured my good luck has run out. BUT, the dealership said my rotors are fine and I have 80% of my brake pad left. He didn't do the repair even though I was willing to pay for it. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE? I'm not imagining things.

#10 of 104 good rotors and pads for GC by wtd44 Jun 05, 2007 (6:22 pm)
Replying to: ramos01 (May 24, 2007 6:04 am) My daughter has a 2004 GC she bought new, and got only 20+K out of the original front brakes. Once we got past the anger of not getting a repair under warranty, a friend at NAPA helped me out. I bought a set of "upmarket" rotors that were just below the top of the line rotors. The pads were ceramic, as I recall, and were recommended in the NAPA literature for Grand Cherokees. I have never been happier with a brake solution I have selected. I would recommend NAPA replacement rotors and pads to any owner suffering from those fast-to-fail brakes. I have just recently purchased a 2007 GC for myself. I'll keep an eye on the brakes, believe me.
