| Parking Brake problems |
I was driving this vehicle when I heard a clunk noise, this has been preceded by 2-3 months of a high pitched squeaking noise that the mechanics could find no cause for. After the clunk the vehicle made a whomping rhythmic noise while I drove home. The next morning when I started it to drive to the repair shop it shifted in gear but would go nowhere. It appeared the rear brakes were locked. It wa stowed to the repair shop and the mechanics report that the parking brake on the left side has broken and resulted in jamming and breaking other components. Mechanic also reports the right side appears to be broken as well but has not done the same amt of damage.
The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. While attempting to exit a parking space, the vehicle would not shift out of the park gear. The contact exited the vehicle and noticed that the brake cable failed. The contact took the vehicle to the mechanic and they stated that the transmission valve failed. The VIN and number of cylinders were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 68,433.
