Parking brake, Equipment, Jun 7, 2011, crash
IN APRIL 2011, MY JEEP WENT IN FOR SERVICE AT HERB CHAMBERS. THERE WERE SAFETY RECALLS THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED AND I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE ABOUT MY PARKING BRAKE BEING LOOSE AND NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE DIAGNOSIS I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE WAS THAT A MASSACHUSETTS REGISTERED SAFETY INSPECTOR EXAMINED MY PARKING BRAKE AND IT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IN MAY 2011, APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE, I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN ITS PARKING SPOT AT MY HOUSE AND WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE FIVE MINUTES LATER IT HAD ROLLED INTO THE WOODS. WHEN THE JEEP ROLLED INTO THE WOODS IT HIT THREE TREES RESULTING IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FENDER RIPPING OFF. WHEN I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP THEY STATED I NEEDED TO FILE A CLAIM THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD ASSIST ME WITH. A CLAIM WAS FILED THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND CHRYSLER COMPANY. CURRENTLY THE JEEP IS BEING REPAIRED THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I FEEL THAT ONCE THE BODY WORK IS COMPLETE ON MY JEEP THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE JEEP WILL STILL BE DEFECTIVE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WILL FAIL AGAIN AND COULD SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGE PROPERTY OR A BYSTANDER. CHRYSLER SENT OUT A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR, HANK SULLIVAN, WHO INSPECTED THE PARKING BRAKE. WHEN REQUESTED TO BE ON SITE OF HIS INVESTIGATION OF MY VEHICLE MY REQUESTED WAS DENIED. ONCE HIS INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETE I REQUESTED PAPERWORK TO VERIFY HE EXAMINED MY VEHICLE AND FOR A COPY OF THE RESULTS FOR MY OWN FILE, THAT REQUEST WAS ALSO DENIED. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER, I AM STILL AWAITING A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER WITH DETAILS FROM HANK'S INVESTIGATION. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM CHRYSLER STATING THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST DUE TO MY AGE I LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES FOR THE SPECIAL CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AT CHRYSLER AND NEVER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL BACK. ONLY ONCE I GOT ONE BACK. *TR

ON APRIL 16TH, 2011 SEVERAL OF US DECIDED TO DO A MILD 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRIP TO A LOCAL WATERFALL. I WAS DRIVING A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON IN 4X4 LOW ON A DIRT ROAD. WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US STOPPED AND EVERYONE GOT OUT AND STARTED TO GATHER THEIR STUFF FROM THE REAR OF THEIR JEEP. I STOPPED ROUGHLY 10 FT BEHIND THE FIRST VEHICLE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE (10% ANGLE) DOWNWARDS TOWARDS THE FIRST VEHICLE, PUT MY JEEP (AUTO TRANSMISSION) INTO PARK, AND TOOK OUT THE KEY. WE EXITED MY JEEP AND STARTED WALKING TOWARDS THE FIRST JEEP AS I APPROACHED MY FRONT TIRE, THE JEEP STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND IT MADE A RATCHETING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE TYPE OF NOISE THAT IS MADE WHEN ONE WOULD PUT A MOVING VEHICLE INTO PARK. MY JEEP CRASHED INTO THE TAILGATE OF THE FIRST JEEP ALMOST CRUSHING MY FRIEND. FORTUNATELY MY JEEP HIT THE TAILGATE OF THE FIRST JEEP AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND THE DOOR WITHHELD THE FORCE OF MY JEEP CRASHING INTO HIS JEEP. TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THE JEEP. I DROVE THE JEEP HOME AND WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT CONSISTENTLY IN ANOTHER 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR.. I CREATED A VIDEO OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILING AND SENT IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE BY STOPPING ON A HILL WITH A PRETTY GOOD ANGLE AND CYCLE THROUGH THESE ACTIONS: PUT FOOT ON BRAKE, PUT JEEP IN DRIVE, DRIVE 2 INCHES, PUT FOOT ON BRAKE, PUT JEEP IN PARK, AND RELEASE BRAKE. AT THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS SENT THE VIDEO TO CORPORATE AND AWAITING DIRECTION. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN PERFORMED. *TR

2010 JEEP JK WRANGLER TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEATS WHEN VEHICLE IS ENGAGED IN 4WD. THIS COULD CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, PARTICULARLY ON MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FATALITY COULD OCCUR. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTING THAT THIS CONDITION COULD OCCUR. THE "FIX" IS AN AUDIBLE CHIME IN ADDITION TO THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM SUCH AS THE ADDITION OF A LARGER OIL COOLER, OIL PAN WITH LARGER CAPACITY TO KEEP OIL COOLER, OR SOME OTHER REPAIR. *TR
