| Description of the problem | My 2016 jeep cherokee limited has a parking brake issue. My parking brake will not disengage, the car will not move forward or back, the light remains lit up on the dashboard. My jeep is inoperable due to this issue. I was stopped at a light in traffic and my car refused to move at all. It finally moved out of park in 30 minutes. The next day my car did the same thing again while i was trying to back out of a parking space at the store. It had to be towed to a jeep dealership. These two incidents caused me to be stuck dangerously in traffic at a street light, and then again at the grocery store in the parking lot. As of now i am without my car, being told water got in the electronic parking brake module. I am told it also requires a electronic park brake switch now too. My car has42504 actual miles on it currently. I bout it with 42098 miles on it on june 25th 2020. |
