Consumer Description

NOTICED HEAT AND SMELL COMING FROM REAR LEFT WHEEL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE BRAKE CALIPER FROZE, I HAD IT CHANGED IN 2014. ALSO ON THE SAME WHEEL I HAD TO CHANGED 2 TIMES THE ABS SENSOR, ONE TIME IN 2015 AND AGAIN 2017. MY MECHANIC OBSERVED THE BRAKE HOSE (REAR LEFT WHEEL) MALFUNCTIONNED WHICH IN TURN IS MELTING THE BRAKE PAD WHICH IS SMUDGING ONTO THE ROTOR. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID IS BOILING DUE TO THE BRAKE HOSE. JEEP IS 43,000 AND THIS WILL BE MY SECOND BRAKE JOB. I NEED TO CHANGE BRAKE HOSE, PAD, CALIPER AND ROTOR ON BOTH SIDE TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP ME FIND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE HOSE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS OWNERS OF JEEP LIBERTY 2011. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE BRAKE HOSE IS BACK ORDERED AND WE WERE TOLD IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 2 TO 3 WEEKS FOR THE PART. IT IS SCARY!
