Description of the problem	2 weeks ago my front passenger brake caliper seized while driving. It smoked and was unsafe to drive as i lost the ability to steer safely. I had to replace the caliper, pads and resurface the rotor. Yesterday my rear driver-side caliper failed while driving locally. I only have 38k miles on this jeep and do not drive off-road. Jeep is pristine, well maintained and used sparingly. Searching nhtsa database i saw several similar reports and all reported problems involved 2008 jeep wrangler, however no recall or tsb?!? How many reports does nhtsa need to connect the dots here? I'm so thankful my daughter wasn't driving, as she would not have been able to recover the vehicle during the first incident. I have been driving for 37 years & never had a vehicle have a single caliper failure and now it's happened twice within two weeks on the same vehicle. There are less than 3k miles driven on these brake pads.
