Grand Cherokee 4WD

  • miles
Rear parking brake shoes seem to "fall off" of backing plates. I discussed this with several people who own the same vehicle, and have the same problem. My service advisor stated he has seen this on other vehicles, as well as a dealership mechanic. Once the show separates inside the rear brake, the parking brake does not function properly. Daimerchrysler states it is not a warranty item because it is part of the brakes. If a consumer does not know that his parking brake is inoperative, it could cause a potential accident.
