Description of the problem	Between 41,258 miles and less than 43,000 miles, front brake calipers locked up. Husband thrown forward toward windshield -- without applying the brakes -- at city driving speed but was saved by his seatbelt from going through the windshield. It also felt like the brakes were very grabby earlier on that trip and more acceleration was needed to make the car travel forward as the wheels seemed not to move freely, like they were being held back. Rotors severely scored, couldn't be machined. Both front calipers, rotors, hoses, pads, lines, fluids all required replacement according to koons tysons jeep in vienna, va. In a 2 second goggle search of jeep owner's forum brake complaints, there are over 300 similar brake caliper and locking up complaints for 3rd generation wrangler vehicles between 2007 and 2017. The dealership shared with us that the new parts they used for our front brake repair are the re-engineered oem parts designed by jeep and that this is a common issue with the original front brake parts that shipped on these vehicles from the factory (yet there is no recall to date -- if jeep re-designed the original parts, they clearly know there is a safety issue here, plus they supply the jeep owner's forum??). We were given an invoice of $1,500+ for the front brake repairs. We contacted jeep customer service who denied knowledge of this front brake safety issue. They asked the dealership to work with us to discount the price as warranty expired at 36,000 miles, but jeep did not do anything for us directly. Jeep did acknowledge on the phone that they may need their recall division to look into this safety issue. We also happened to discuss this issue with our son, who then told us he had the same brake issues with his 2016 jeep wrangler unlimited which had to have 3 brake repairs for this issue before he got rid of it because he was afraid to drive it.

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.
