problem #2

Jun 062014

Wrangler 6-cyl

  • 2,800 miles
I just drove my vehicle and then parked it at my home on a driveway that has a slight incline. I parked vehicle in 1st gear (6 speed manual transmission), and applied the parking brake. Approximately 10 minutes later I was in my yard and heard a muffled pop noise and then a clicking sound that resembled a roller coaster ride when the cars are being pulled up a steep hill. I turned around and saw my vehicle going down the driveway. It collided with my wife's vehicle then hit a tree. The vehicle has 2800 miles on it. When I got in vehicle the shift was in 1st gear, and brake applied. I started the vehicle and let off the clutch and the vehicle moved forward, indicating that it was in fact in first gear still. I duplicated where I parked it again and it moved backwards again. After multiple reenactments the vehicle would move until 3-5 min later it would make a sudden movement in reverse for about 6-12 inches.

Went to stop at light, hit the brake it was hard and did not engage, I stopped because I hit the car in front of me. Brakes never engaged, pulled the emergency brake before exiting the vehicle to check on the people in the car in front of me and the brakes seemed to let out air and relax. The brakes felt normal at that point. Post accident police escorted be to dealership to make sure that brakes continued to work. Dealership claimed nothing wrong, spoke to neutral mechanics and they all stated that it was a problem that would occur again and that the brakes would seem fine in the meantime. Explained this to Jeep and they said brakes were fine.
