Consumer Description

EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILS TO STOP MY 2007 DODGE NITRO WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO CAN NOT HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED AT A 25DEGREE INCLINE WITH THE E-BRAKE HANDLE RAISED FULLY. APPARENTLY THERE'S A RECALL (H28) ON THIS, BUT NOTES FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY, WHAT THE HELL DOES THE TRANSMISSION TYPE HAVE TO DO WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKING? I HAVE NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT TOUCH IT EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY! *TR
