Jeep started to shake. When taking your foot off the gas pedal, auto almost came to a stop. Went straight to repair shop. Caliper assembly was replaced on rear passenger side. Second caliper malfunctioned on June 30, 2014. Parts have been back ordered since July 1, 2014. Chrysler is producing bad parts and although no accidents are reported yet, they will be. This should not be happening on a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles. Webb site has 100's of people with same problem that re-occures within a short time.
