I own a 2003 Grand Cherokee Loredo. Every 12-14 thousand miles, I have to have the front brake rotors replaced. The dealer tells me there is nothing they can do to stop this. They replace the rotors for free each time as they say it is a Jeep issue. I am thankful for the free repairs, but its annoying to need them replaced so often. Anyone else have this experience? Anyone else find a better solutions

In which manner are the rotors failing?

Here is some information regarding this problem: [http://www.wjjeeps.com/brakes.htm](http://www.wjjeeps.com/brakes.htm)

I have found that the factory rotors are not so good. I now use good quality aftermarket rotors.
