| Description of the problem | I parked my car on main street in town to pick up my mail. When i got ready to leave my emergency parking break was on. ( i never put e brake on,bit did it by itself) i tried to disengage but it would not. I had to have car towed and it cost me $611. 28 in repairs. We were told water and corrosion was found in electric parking brake module and connector. I have been researching this and have found there are several complaints. We called jeep who told us there was an issue with the e brake but my vin number didn't match. Obviously it should. Very frustrated with jeep at this point. Water should not be getting into the module. That is a manufacturer deffect and should be covered as such and recalled. |
