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

PARKING BRAKE NOT FIXED YET TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THEY ADJUSTED AND IT STILL RELEASES ITSELF SOMETIMES. OUT OF THE SIX COMPLAINTS I HAVE LISTED I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE REPAIRS WILL BE COVERED EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT MY CAR OFF OF AN INDEPENDENT CAR DEALER WITH NO WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THE JEEP "AS IS" AND I HAD READ IN HAYNES AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR MANUAL THAT BECAUSE OF A FEDERALLY MANDATED EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERS EMISSIONS-RELATED COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, CHECK WITH A DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE REPLACING THE CONVERTER AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE. I BELIEVE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD WOULD I BE ABLE TO HAVE THE LOCAL DEALER REPLACE THAT PART AT NO EXPENSE TO ME EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE OFF OF AN INDEPENDENT DEALER AT 142425 ON THE ODOMETER AND IT BEING A 90 MODEL. I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ON YOUR COMPLAINT DATABASE THAT I AM HAVING. WILL I BE ABLE TO GET THESE RESOLVED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME? PLEASE RESPOND OR COMMENT YOUR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. IF I DO END UP PAYING FOR THESE REPAIRS AND THEIR IS A RECALL OR SOMETHING WILL I BE ABLE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS THAT I PAY FOR?
