Parking break self releases. According to chrysler the recall was done more than 10 years ago and is therefore no longer covered. How can chrysler not cover this dangerous problem. The vehicle will unexpectedly begin rolling down a slope with no warning. The break will hold for a few minutes or even longer and then release.. If this replacement part is of this faulty a design why can it not be not be replaced with a more dependable one. Is there a replacement "kit" for the recall? Furthermore I was unaware of the recall for the fuel pump/sensor gasket at top of fuel tank and the catalytic converter recall. I replaced that gasket twice without the dealer advising me of the recall. As I prepared my boat for launching the break released and began to roll backwards into the lake, nearly running me over. A narrow escape.

Despite my jeep wrangler having been recalled due to faulty parking brakes recall # 02v- 041000, this problem persists. I have taken my car to the dealership numerous times where they tighten the parking brake and each time it eventually slips again. I no park my car in gear which keeps it stationary but every time I am not parked in gear my car rolls away. Many times the brake is on and suddenly come off but plenty of other times the car moves even when the brake is on. I have taken it to the dealer several times and there's nothing they can do. The only reason this car even passes inspection is that the brake is tightened and immediately tested. Within a few days, the brake is back to it's usual non holding self.
