Description of the problem	2013 jeep wrangler with 15k miles, manual transmission, vehicle parked in garage with the parking brake engaged, (handle pulled up 4 clicks). Vehicle started and placed in neutral, allowed engine to run and exited for a brief moment, returned to find it rolling out of the garage and down my front driveway, crashing into a culvert in my front lawn. This is a serious and very dangerous design flaw with the parking brake by chrysler. I have been driving for 30 + years and have never had a vehicle not hold with the e-brake engaged, (maybe weak but will always hold on basically a flat surface such as a garage). This is obviously a known issue, there are many forums discussing it. I have acquaintances with new 2011-2014 jeep wranglers with the same parking brake not holding issue. I feel that it is important that people are made aware of this design flaw by chrysler. Dealer contacted, they inspected and stated ? Parking-brake working?, they would adjust but not covered under warranty (over 12k miles). The parking brake has been adjusted, but i always use a chock block on the wheel when parked. I do not trust the parking brake assembly on this jeep and feel there is a serious design flaw. With a standard transmission the parking brake has to be relied upon to hold the vehicle, this flaw inhibits safely leaving the vehicle while it is running.
