I own a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited. Multiple times the left front brake caliper freezes (seizes) onto the rotor causing the vehicle to violently shake and pull to the left, warping the rotor and damaging the brake pads. I have replaced the rotors and brake pads but after a short period of time it happens again. It seems to be triggered by using the brakes frequently, for example when braking going down hills. While I have not had a fire the brakes were glowing red on one occasion. I believe this to be an extremely dangerous defect that must be corrected as my research indicates that many, if not all owners of this year (as well as other years) make and model experience this problem.
