Consumer Description

I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AFTER A 20 MINUTE DRIVE FROM WORK AND I COULD SMELL RUBBER BURNING. I STEPPED TO THE BACK OF MY JEEP AND COULD TELL THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE BACK DRIVER SIDE TIRE SO I REACHED DOWN AND TOUCHED THE WHEEL AND IT WAS SO HOT IT BURNED BY HAND. IT ACTED LIKE THE BRAKE HAD LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WORKING AGAINST MY SPEED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES IT ACTS COMPLETELY FINE AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL LOCK UP AGAIN AND ALL I CAN SMELL IS BURNING RUBBING AND FEEL HEAT COMING OFF THE WHEEL WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING IT. *TR
