My concern is if there is anything that has to be done because of the ABS system.
Thanks in advance for the help
We have checked for leaks and have bled the brakes and all the valves are in the right places. Can you help perhaps saving us having to spend lots of money at the franchise.
Does anyone know if there is an adjustment on it?
Thanks
I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6cyl and experience a weird intermittent brake issue. I can be driving on the highway and all of a sudden around 60mph my car will start to vibrate a little and the brake pedal is rock solid (ie I just have to barely touch it for brakes to engage fully.) The brakes seem to be engaging on their own. If I pull over turn off the car and pump the pedal a few times and restart it goes away. It's very intermittent.
Not sure what it is and I took it to a mechanic and he could find an issue and didn't make any recommendations. It's like pressure builds up and engages the brakes. Bad master cylinder? I think I'll try bleeding the lines...maybe there is air trapped and circulating?
Anyone ever heard of this issue or better yet know how to solve it
Thanks!
Good luck.
Have you been able to repair this intermittent problem. It drives me crazy trying to figure out what's going on.
Thanks
I need advice thanks.
I have a 90 model 6cil limited,
I just put new brakes pads & new disc,
Also got the front calipers fixed,and wheel main bearing.
Now the abs pump dont stop working (its 3year old),on the dash the abs light is on and the hand brake light also.
What could it be?
Have to hook it up to the JEEPs computer and reset the electronic?
Or?
Its driving me nuts haha
Thanks!
I know this post is a few years old, but I am having the same problem with my 04 grand cherokee. It is coming from the drivers side rear wheel; like a squeeking and popping sound when I brake. Yesterday it became constant without the braking and then my caliper locked up. Replaced the caliper today and after a few miles, back again. I am just wandering if you ever figured out what was going on with yours. I was thinking maybe it was a berring or something.
Thanks,

Rotors on this model have many problems with warping.
Maybe they are warped and putting odd amount of pressure on calipers ?
What do you mean about a campaign? Did Jeep pay for rotors ?
This "campaign"...was it something you started, or is there a way for others with the same problem to go about getting Jeep to fix this issue? Can you give me some direction or who to contact? I looked everywhere and haven't found any official recall or anything.
Thank you!

The combo that I have done with Akebono pads in Akebono calipers and Bendix rotors have worked for me. Akebono makes pads for both styles of calipers. As I mentioned before these are not cheap, maybe $30 $50 more than other pads,but I think the extra is well spent. If you are using an decent independent shop, they will have heard of these pads. Log on to Rock Auto and you can see the different pricing.
Good luck with your repairs. We really enjoy our Jeep and do the best we can to keep it running.
As I have posted before here. the combo that I have used which is Akebono brake pads in Akebono calipers and Bendix rotors. These are working well for me!
I just had my front brakes replaced on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport and am feeling a slight vibration on the peddle? I purchased Wagner brakes. Can someone provide any insight on what the issue could be? My jeep has currently 144,500 miles.
Thanks-
Thanks.
1. slides on the calipers were corroded along with the brake pads, especially on the rear brakes. cleaned up the slides and replace the rear pads
2. flushed the hydraulic lines and put new fluid into the baking system. Brake fluid was very dirty. American car makers do not normally recommend replacing the fluid, but our Mercedes does. I took Mercedes lead and solved the problem
