| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Since the day i bought the vehicle new while applying the parking brake it seems as though you hit a void or that it slips over like there is a stripped gear. I took it to the dealership for service and was told "they all do that, its not uncommon and nothing to worry about" but i have recently noticed that if it stops on the void the parking brake does not hold the vehicle in place and it rolls. I am wanting to take it in for service but not sure if this is a good idea right now until i have a complaint filed and have it check out by another source as i am worried that i will get the same answer. I know chrysler issued recall for a similar problem but this vehicle was not included in that recall. I want everyone that has this type of vehicle to be aware of this problem since "its common and they all do it". |
