Default Went to stealership...

My drivers door catch has been rattling, the passenger door is hard to close still at 8100 miles, steering wheel controls were intermittent at times and rear brakes are rusting and well grooved with a lip, at 8100 miles.

Their take, not to touch doors, any adjustment could cause leaks. I get that. Why not use a rubber insert in the door catch like GM does. Works great.

Replace switches and radio, I said why radio, the cruise and evic were also affected, he's gonna order the radio but I said I'll take it back today while the radio is on order and report back on the new switches.

Says rear brakes are normal, and must have some dirt or debris on them but calipers and pads look great. I'll have to snap a pic cause these rotors are scored with rust and grooves. The rust appeared in the last three weeks with road salt which drew my attention to them, then I felt the grooves and lip. The lip at the edge must be a good 1/16". I know exactly what's wrong with them, they are Chinese rotors. I bet they are toast by 10K, my wife's brakes are 3.5 years old and have 49K compared to my five month old ones. BTW I drive 90% highway and Jeep has never been offroad yet. Sad, I know. I'm glad I did my trackbar myself, cause these punks would have called my crack sleeve normal too.
