PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY JEEP HAS A TENDANCY TO DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. BEFORE I WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT, IT DISENGAGED IN A PARKING LOT AND CAUSED MY JEEP TO ROLL BACK ONTO A NEW FORD MUSTANG, CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE, AND APPEARING ON MY INSURANCE RECORD AS A FAILURE ON MY PART TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
FOR THE LAST YEAR, MY PARKING BRAKE HAS NOT WORKED AT ALL. IF ENGAGED, IT WILL RELEASE ITSELF. I TOOK THE JEEP TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RATCHET ASSEMBLY THAT WAS BROKEN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I STARTED HEARING OF MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I BECAME CONVINCED THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I BELIEVE A FULL INVESTIGATION SHOULD BEGIN AS I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL PEOPLE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT AWARE THIS TYPE OF INVESTIGATION CAN BE STARTED BY SUBMITTING REPORTS SUCH AS THIS. I WAS UNAWARE UNTIL RECENTLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. *AK
