1995 JEEP WRANGLER Parking Brakeconventional Problems

VIN: [XXX] 1995. I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL ON THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR MY 1995 JEEP WRANGLER. ON OCTOBER 8, 2003 I TOOK IT TO THE FARICY BOYS CHRYSLER JEEP IN COLORADO SPRINGS FOR REPAIR. ON NOVEMBER 21, 2003 MY CAR WHILE WARMING UP IN THE DRIVEWAY ROLLED OUT OF THE PLACE ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO THE NEIGHBORS FENCE. THE BRAKE PEDAL RELEASED AND WAS TO THE FLOOR WHEN MY DAUGHTER PULLED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. WE CALLED FARICY AND LET THEM KNOW THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED AND THAT WE WOULD BE BRINGING IT IN. UPON OUR ARRIVAL I TOLD THE SERVICE REP [XXX] WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE TURNED ME OVER TO THE SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] . HE EXPLAINED THAT AFTER INSPECTION THE BRAKE CABLES HAD FAILED AND THAT THIS WAS PART OF THE RECALL. I ASKED WHY THIS WAS NOT REPLACED WHEN THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL....

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I STARTED HEARING OF MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I BECAME CONVINCED THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I BELIEVE A FULL INVESTIGATION SHOULD BEGIN AS I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL PEOPLE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS DEFECT.
