| Description of the problem | There has been an issue with my emergency brake since my jeep was new. It does not hold adequately, and must be pulled extremely tight to even engage at all. I have been told by the dealer that "that's just how they are." i don't believe this for one minute, and in fact find it insulting that chrysler expects consumers to believe this. I have never owned a vehicle where the emergency brake won't hold it. I have friends who drive wranglers too and they all say the same thing. Design flaw? This is a safety issue when driving a manual and would love a functioning emergency brake. |
