| Description of the problem | I have 24,000 miles and noticed grinding coming from my passenger rear wheel. I went to an auto repair shop. They informed me that the caliper is partially froze and needed a new one. It also ruined my brake and rotor on that side. They also recommended to not install one side but to make both match. Due to a faulty caliper i am out $500. The auto mechanic said he has oddly seen this on relatively new jeep wranglers too frequent. I went online and found out from jeep forums that this is happening often. I'm not too sure on how the recall process works... But i wouldn't mind trying to recover some/all of my costs due to faulty oem equipment. |
