| Parking Brake problems |
The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Commander. While driving 55 mph over a bump in the road, he heard a loud shattering noise, and drove onto the emergency lane. When he looked underneath the vehicle there was no visible damage. When the contact restarted the vehicle, the noise recurred. When the contact restarted the vehicle a second time the vehicle began to function normally. The dealer performed a diagnostic test and the mechanic stated that the retainer clip broke which caused the emergency brake cable to hang down, and hit the drive shaft. The retainer clip and the brake cable were repaired. He spoke to the Jeep manufacturer to confirm that the failure would not recur. He was told the failure was not a common occurrence. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 101,000.
Additional problems reference odi complaint #10244597. Received car back from dealership ran fine for two weeks. The car is now stalling on the highway at 40 mph near our home. Thank god I was able to get the car to the side of the road. Then the park assist service light came on and went off again. I got the car home. My husband took it out. The transmission was slipping and not shifting into higher gear. Today taking the kids to the bus it stalled again. When I was able to restart, I put my foot on the gas and the car hesitate, almost causing an accident. I have pretty much decided on voluntary repossession, as my kids are worth more than the deficient balance.
