Three problems related to parking brake have been reported for the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The transmission did not shift and accelerate properly, the dealer could not duplicate the problem. The abs light illuminated on the dashboard, after the vehicle was turned off, all the gauges illuminated, the parking brake was adjusted, and the battery was replaced.
Consumer states that when vehicle was in park the parking brake disengages causing an accident. Dealer notified. Mr.
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.
