What is your question?
I have replaced the rotors and brake pads, it stopped for a little bit, started again and was told it’s the struts, replaced both of those, started again was told the caliber seized so I replaced that as well (as well as the brake pad again because it was totally bad again) now it stopped for 2 hours and started again
How long has your 2016 Jeep Patriot had this problem?
More than a month

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! You've been on quite a parts replacing excursion here and your wallet deserves a break! The fact that each repair gives you temporary relief before the problem returns is a strong sign that something upstream is causing repeated failures rather than each part just happening to go bad on its own. A collapsing brake hose is a classic hidden culprit that causes calipers to seize repeatedly since it traps pressure against the rotor even after you release the brake pedal. If that hose wasn't replaced along with the caliper it may be the reason you keep ending up back at square one. Before replacing anything else have a shop specifically inspect that flexible rubber brake hose on the affected side. Visit RepairPal.com to find a trusted shop in Tucson that can finally put this one to bed!
