| Description of the problem | My jeep cherokee electronic parking brake has come on by itself and it cannot be turned off. This first happened at the end of last year and i brought it to the dealer and i had to pay for the electronic parking brake switch to be replaced. Last week it happened again and i brought it back to the dealer and they told me that now the electronic parking brake connector and electronic parking brake module both need to be replaced at a cost of $1500 plus. Doing a search on the internet reveals that this is a common problem with jeep cherokees. I am afraid to drive the vehicle as this can happen anytime and it is unsafe. To drive. Looking on the jeep website they have issued a service bulletin that covers the exact issue - electronic parking brake module connector water intrusion. The problem that they claim is due to water damage and it is in a spot where i find it hard to believe any water can get in.*dt *tp |
