2017 Jeep Wrangler Brakes

Rear brakes locked up, over heating, burning smell.

2017 jeep Wrangler sport JKU all stock, normal road tires from the dealership, rear and front driver side break caliper is sticking and causing break drag at 32,000. due to this causing the rear break pads to prematurely wear bi-lateral and damaging the rotor on the affected side, causing the vehicle to operate at higher RPMS as the breaks are dragging. due to the heat the caliper boot was damaged as well. Excessive dust on rim and burning break smell with excessive friction heat along with the vehicle pulls to affected side when you let go of the wheel at residential speeds. the heat causes a dangerous break lag and the break pedal is harder to depress as what i believe is fluid not making it back to the master cylinder. when the vehicle is in drive you let your foot off the break on level ground the vehicle dose not move as it should when the transmission is in drive at idle, no gas given, the breaks squeak and jump grip as the jeep tries to move when gas is given, the break is stuck on the rotor. rear breaks where replaced bilaterally cleaned with new calipers, high temp silicone grease , rotors and ceramic pads is hopes to fix the problem. after that is when the front driver caliper was noticeably showing the same signs as the rear did. to have a non dealership mechanic do the job is 970.00.vehicle drives as if the emergency break is on but was inspected and is not touching the inner drum. vehicle is not heavily uses ether 1.)no lights or check break lights luminated its all feel. no accidents due to the break lag but is very dangerous if you need to stop suddenly. 2.)issue confirmed by a independent service center mechanic 3.) at 15,000 miles vehicle was taken back to the dealership for a break groaning sound and squeak when backing up or when driving, dealer stated it was just dust on the pads, inspection found no issues. after the visit the sound would still periodically kept reoccurring but was kept being told "dust" not sure if that was a early sign

DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE CALIPERS FAILED. 31765 MILES ON VEHICLE. SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND ROUGH RIDE. TOOK VEHICLE TO JEEP DEALER. TOLD $2,100 TO REPAIR AND CAUSED BY MY ONLY DRIVING VEHICLE 31000 MILES IN 4 YEARS. TOLD DEALER I BELIEVED THIS WAS SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS FILING NHTSA COMPLAINT. FCA PROVIDED REPLACEMENT BRAKE CALIPERS FOR ALL 4 WHEELS AND FAILED BRAKE HOSE AT NO CHARGE. DEALER REPAIRED AT $965 COST TO ME FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILED BRAKE CALIPERS.

CALIPERS LOCK UP FOR NO REASON CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS DAMAGING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS.

FRONT RIGHT BRAKE ON '17 WRANGLER (CALIPER) FROZE SHUT WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY MOVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. SMOKE WAS VISIBLE ABOVE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, VEHICLE SHOOK WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE HAS 19,000 MILES, ZERO INDICATION OF LOW BRAKE PADS WHICH SHOULD LAST WELL OVER 45,000 MILES, AND ONLY THE RIGHT BRAKE PAD WORE DOWN. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS LOW BRAKE PAD CAUSED ISSUE, THEREFORE WEAR & TEAR. DUE TO NO PRIOR BRAKE ISSUES/SLOW BRAKING/ SQUEAKING, AND CURRENT MILEAGE, I'M OF THE OPINION THAT BRAKES LOCKED DUE TO DESIGN OR MECHANICAL ISSUES RATHER THAN LACK OF MAINTENANCE.
