| Parking Brake problems |
The emergency brake tensioner broke. It renders the e-brake inop. The car must be parked in gear in order to keep it from rolling and may still roll depending on the hill. This is not a one of a kind occurrence and has been reported many times in the Jeep jk forums. The tensioner spring is too brittle and brakes at the crimp point on the brake hand lever.
