| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2008 jeep patriot limited down the street and hit a pot hole and with in seconds it sounded like a flat tire. I pulled into the closest parking lot and got out there was no flat tried to drive it and the parking brake was locked i took the brakes apart and the parking brake on the one side completely fell out in my hands. The brake clips ripped out of the dust cover and the adjuster fell into to the drum and locked the brakes up. Luckily i was only doing 30 when it happens and slowed down other wise if i was on the highway i could only imagine what would of happened. |
