Description of the problem	Bought a 2006 wrangler w/ 3500 miles. Shortly thereafter, realized that vehicle had a problem - when braking at speeds of 55 to 60 mph (gently, mind you, no hard braking), vehicle and steering wheel would shudder and wobble violently, and this would increase in severity until vehicle slowed to 40 mph, then shuddering/wobbling would stop. Took to purchase dealer first (ford) to have wheel balanced. This did not fix it, so, took to warranty (jeep) shop, who first tried to blame dealer (ford) shop, said lug nuts were screwed on too tight, thus causing rotors to warp. Had ford dealer turn rotors, but problem returned shortly. Took to warranty (jeep) shop, insisted they fix. They replaced rotors, but problem returned almost immediately. Returned vehicle to them, they "machined" new rotors. Shortly thereafter, the problem returned. Took to jeep again, this time, they said it was the ball joints, replaced upper and lower right ball joints. Problem remained, but was sporadic rather than constant.. Took it back to jeep, they said they couldn't find a problem, "come back when problem more pronounced". Within a few weeks, problem was constant and very pronounced; scary, even. Took back to jeep again this week, they say it is the rotors again, and they will replace them one more time under warranty, but never again. Vehicle has been in shop(s) for work on this problem no less than 5 or 6 times. Dealer implies that this is all my fault, even though i drive substantially fewer miles than most people, and my driving habits are quite dull, to say the least: no towing, no driving on the beach, over rocks, etc., no hard braking, no excessive speed, etc., etc. (they tell me that no one else has this problem, even though the internet is full of these kinds of complaints.) in the last 16 years, i have driven 4 jeeps, 3 fords, 1 mazda, and 2 vw's, and this 2006 wrangler is the only one that has ever had a rotor problem of any kind, much less a constantly recurring one.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
