At 30. 890 miles rear brakes locking up, extream hot temps. Burning smell and smoke coming up through the back wheels. The caliper was coverd but I got slamed with a bill of $500. 00 for the cutting of the roters and replacing of pads. This system is 4wheel disc-anti/lock. I have 39. 000 miles and the others side of is doing the same thing. The dealer at ocean Jeep just called and said I have to pay $100. 00 deductable on this repair. This was my first brand new car, and I dont have anything good to say.
