| I recently bought a 1988 jeep wrangler. i have only had it for a few weeks. i started to notice that sometimes when i engage the parking brake, it fails and releases. everytime it would happen, it would happen right away and i would simply re-engage it, except for this last time it happened. i had my jeep parked in my driveway with the parking brake engaged. while i was at school, the parking brake failed again and disengaged. my jeep, then, rolled down my driveway and hit a tree in my backyard. this happened just the other day and it is still in the same position as i found it when i came home. i have not done anything to fix it yet. *tr | |||

| The parking brake on my jeep has a tendancy to disengage without warning. before i was aware of this defect, it disengaged in a parking lot and caused my jeep to roll back onto a new ford mustang, causing considerable damage to the other vehicle, and appearing on my insurance record as a failure on my part to engage the brake. | |||
