| Description of the problem | After a 30 mile trip, i discovered that the left front brake of my jeep wrangler was overheated, confirmed by a distinct burning smell, an extremely hot left front wheel, and a pulling sensation when brakes were applied. The next day, i took the vehicle to an authorized jeep dealer for diagnosis and repair. I was told that both front brake calipers were "bad", and needed replacing. The vehicle has only 69,000 miles on the odometer. My 2012 dodge journey had the exact same problem with the rear brake caliper. |
