"Not sure how it happened, but the parking break started seizing up and wouldn't release. It started with the parking brake popping when I engaged it. That started maybe a year before.

It got really bad, made very loud scraping metal sounds and then started not releasing at all."

Anonymous, MA (2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 3.6-L V6)

""I've been fighting the parking brake for about 4 years, maybe 5. It's been adjusted several times and finally replaced. I've been told it's a very bad design. It keeps sticking, even after being replaced. Also, it does not hold, I have to pull it too far - I can not trust it - I always take precautions, I'm very aware of which way the front wheels are facing when I park it. I also carry a wheel chocks just in case I have no choice but part on an incline.""
