Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Two problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2019

The first incidence, the anti lock brakes seized while driving on a dry evening at a speed of about 25mph causing the vehicle behind me to nearly collide and forcing us both off the road. I had it looked at bh a mechanic and he found nothing so said to bring it back next time it happens. The vehicle was fine for a week and then it happened again from the driveway. It happened 3 times on the road nearly causing an accident and several other times forcing drivers behind me to pass. I find it happens in the first mile or 2 after starting a drive and then is ok. I brought it back to the mechanic and he suggested replace all of the electrical modules associated with brakes and replace the brakes and pads since the seizing of the abs has caused premature wear of the brakes. I am concerned for my safety and the safety of others but cannot afford $1300 repair especially if it should be covered under safety recall.
