Owner report 10037558 · 2003-09-09 (September 9, 2003)
I BOUGHT A 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LORADO WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD IT WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER, BUT WHEN THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REDONE AND THE ROTORS WARPED THE COMPANY TOLD ME THEY ARE ONLY COVERED TO 15,000 MILES, AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE THE ROTORS THAT WARPED BECAUSE THEY AREN'T COVERED ANYOMORE. SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK WITH 35,000 MILES ON IT AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERS IT TO 100,000, I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE ROTORS THAT WERE BAD TO BEGIN WITH.*AK
