2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - front brakes grabbing

front brakes start to grab causing the vehicle to slow down suddenly. This has happened on the front driver’s side and now the front passenger’s side. The wheel gets extremely hot on the side effected. We also had to replace the ABS sensors and the mechanic found collapsed brake lines. This has now happened 1 time on the front driver’s side and twice on the passenger’s side. This is our 3rd Jeep and we have owned this Jeep since brand new. It has just turned over 40000 miles on this 3rd occurrence. This issue is dangerous and should be cause for concern and recall.

Hi D.W.56:
Welcome to the site.
It’s not clear what you have replaced so far.

Did you replace both front calipers and both front rubber brake lines leading to the calipers?
