| I own a 1989 jeep wrangler with a manual trasmission. on lately the parking brake has been self-releasing causing the the vehicle to roll down my driveway. on one occasion it hit my second vehicle parked behind it causing minor damage to the bumper. i found the nhtsa recall (02v041000) called daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403. i spoke with tom and racheal about this issue. they said that the recall does not affect my year vehicle even if the are the same type of vehicle. i would like this repaired but they seemed unconcered about this and said that i would need to pay to repair this.*ak | |||

| I received a recall notice for my 1993 jeep wrangler for a problem with the emergency brake release. we have a 89 wrangler and this happens frequently. why isn't it covered under the recall if it's the same brake system? it was released on may and rolled down a steep hill and hit a tree. this is dangerous. *la | |||
