| Description of the problem | I have a 2014 jeep cherokee latitude it has over 100,000 miles over it i just recently had the transmission service which was no more than fluid change. Recently while driving to a restaurant to pick up some dinner the parking brake service light came on yellow indication came on i was just driving normal weather no snow no rain sitting in line at the drive-thru. I pulled into a parking spot to place it in park and to see if i could release the parking brake as the parking brake indicator light was on. Once i place the vehicle in park the emergency parking brake engaged the brake light came on and it will not release. Had the vehicle towed to my house which is less than a mile away call the dealership and they just kept asking for codes there was no codes to be given. I have tried many solutions including of disconnecting the battery pulling the fuses i have pulled the brake module from the back now that there was a little moisture in there. I tried it out and ride it let it sit a day or two. The brake will not release. Local dealership wants me to bring it in for an expensive diagnosis. After jacking up the vehicle myself i was able to determine that it was only the driver side that will not release. I was also told by the dealer that if i just rocked it between reverse and drive that it would release. It did release once but i literally had to drive with the parking brake on until it did let's not do that again. I replace the module with one i found online from another jeep cherokee and it did not correct the problem. Local dealerships have no idea have never heard of it was no help whatsoever |
