What are common problems with brakes in Jeeps?

Answer by  Cali (518)

A common problem that some automatic Jeeps encounter is that when engaging the parking brake, an excessive amount of pressure needs to be applied to the foot brake to engage the parking brake. Sometimes during this process the shifter has a tendency to snap backwards, out of gear. Brake pads often wear down fast after braking.

Because Jeeps are often used off-road, mud, pebbles and debris tends to get stuck between the rotor and the brake pads, wearing them out prematurely. I know of no common faults of design.

What I have found out so far is that if I use Partial Four Wheel Drive, both the front and rear brakes work properly. I am not sure what the remedy is for the rear brakes not working in 2-wheel drive at this time but im also sure it varies.

Just the usual, screeching sound when used. Poor functionality. And perhaps even the brakes going out entirely. Like any other car maintain regular brake maintenance.
