MY 1990 JEEP WRANGLER WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE RELEASED ON ITS OWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY. DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO BOTH VEHICLES. I WAS LATER NOTIFIED BY MAIL OF A RECALL ON THE PARKING BRAKE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PARKING BRAKE FIXED BY TERMS OF THE RECALL AND DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. *JB

THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED ON MY DAUGHTER'S 1990 JEEP WRANGLER A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN SHE WAS IN COLLEGE (SDSU, SAN DIEGO, CA). SHE WAS IN CLASS. IT ROLLED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A MAZDA MINI-VAN. SHE INSISTED SHE SET THE PARKING BRAKE. IT NOW LOOKS LIKE SHE PROBABLY DID. CAN WE COLLECT FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE?
