Jeep Grand Cherokee Faulty Brakes Lead to Class Action Suit in Kansas

Case ID: 3985

Amount At Issue: $14,500,000.00

Category: Consumer Products

Last Update: 12/29/2006

Country:

A Kansas law firm has filed a class-action lawsuit against DaimlerChrysler Corp. over what it claims is a problem with many Jeep Grand Cherokees. KMBC reported that the lawsuits were filed in Jackson County and Johnson County, Kan., over alleged problems with the front brakes on 1999 through 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees.
The lawsuits allege that after as little as 5,000 miles, the steering wheel and front wheels "shake" and that drivers encounter severe vibrations through the steering wheel, floor, seat and pedals when the brakes are applied.

DaimlerChrysler has never issued a recall for a problem with the front brakes.
The lawsuits seek to force the carmaker to reimburse Kansas and Missouri residents for all costs spent repairing the brakes. ClassActionAmerica is seeking additional information about this case now and will provide it as soon as it becomes available.
