On wednesday night (13 july 16), se michigan had severe thunderstorms and street flooding. I drove through this for at least 6 miles. The next morning as I was leaving for work, I got into the car, buckled my seat belt and put the car into reverse. There was a loud "crunching" noise but no movement. I put the car in park, got out to see if there was anything behind the car to make that noise but there wasn't. I got back in the car, buckled up, put the car's gear into reverse again.
Emergency brake release lever keeps braking. 3 times for me over the years. I see many replacement parts being sold on ebay. I've been driving for 60 years and never had a car where this happens. Check chrysler records to see how many replacement release levers sold. Is this normal? When broken, cannot release and possibly not correctly use emergency brake. Also there is this steel rod and broken lever dangling into drivers feet. Problem is design of lever. It has two thin sides that pivot on something in the car.
