| Description of the problem | As i pulled into my apartment complex around 5:30am on 8/08/2013, i noticed a loud "thud" sound and my jeep became stalled in the driveway. I pressed gently on the gas pedal to move my vehicle out of oncoming traffic, but the jeep wouldn't move and then finally jolted into drive without me pressing on the gas pedal. I was able to coast to a parking spot. The service 4-wheel drive indicator light came on the dash before i shut the ignition off. The vehicle has been serviced appropriately and efficiently over the past 2 years since i purchased it. I called shore tire on 8/9/2013 to set up an appointment for a mechanic to look at my vehicle. I was able to drive the jeep at 10mph a mile down the road on 8/12/2013 to the service shop. I was informed the parking brake ad dislodged itself from the shaft, dismantling the rear backing plate system, left rear abs sensor, left rear axle/hub and damaged the rear rotors. I had to pay $1,320. 30 for parts and labor. |
