Description of the problem | Electronic parking brake module connector water intrusion which causes the module to short out and the wiring harness corrosion. This causes the parking break to engage and disengage without warning. This also prompts an error that the 4wd is unavailable. Confirmed with patriot jeep in oakland md that the 4wd will not work on 11/18/2019. I was able to get my car to move from my driveway by putting my seat belt on and holding the break, and then pressing the gas to release the parking break. Mopar told me this was not covered under warranty, and i found numerous complaints on this issue. I was also able to find a bulletin published by mopar about this issue. It appears there is water getting into the vehicle causing corrosion which could lead to an accident if someones brake would engage, or 4wd would fail in inclement weather. |
