Shutter/Vibration while braking to a stop.

[JeepJohn]

I have a 2020 JLUR with about 700 miles on it. It feels like it shutters to a stop at times. I’m not sure if it’s a brake issue, if the rear end is hopping slightly due to being lighter than the front or if it’s something else. Is this normal? What say you?

Sounds like you might have some uneven brake pad deposits, try a few hard brake runs. Just run from 50mph down to 10 mph (in a safe place to do so) as quick as you can without locking the brakes, do this 4-5 times never coming to a complete stop. This will scrub the rotors.

After doing the runs just drive as normal for 15 minutes to cool the brakes, do not come to a stop during the cool down (if you must stop do so slowly and don't keep foot on the brake, use the e-brake to hold at a stop if you must).

Once you go through this process drive as normal and see if the vibration is gone (or at least improved).

Thanks.. I’ll try it.
