| Description of the problem | Intermittently, after driving, i noticed that there is a brake burning smell coming from the rear left wheel. The diagnosis is a stuck caliber (piston). There are other recalls on jeep brake pistons, however, when i called chrysler customer service, they assured me that there was no recall on this issue. My research on the jeep wrangler forums indicate that other owners have had this issue (stuck piston) with the 2008 jeep wrangler. |
