Jeep brakes broken - 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 2 Doors

This could be a lot of things. There are springs that hold the parking brake shoes that could be broken, there are springs that hold the regular shoes that could be broken, there are hydraulic pistons that could be over extended, there could be excessive wear on the pads or drums / calipers . You will have to remove the tires too see

E-Brake cable is either worn/broken, or could either be E-brake pads are very worn.

there is a small switch under brake bedal. when it is broken, you get a warning on your dash light and ABS and related equipment go into safe mode. you need a new one. other reason to this can be a broken sensor on one of brake calipers. those must be checked.

Hi Debbie, Have the brakes seen to before even moving the vehicle. Could be a broken hose or a leakage from the brake caliper. Whichever the vehicle should not be driven until the problem has been sorted out. Regards John

your brake light switch may be stuck and in need of lubrcation, or it may be just broken all together.

look in the back of the brake pedal, your brake pedal will make contact with the switch when you apply the brakes..

try some wd40 on it, before you change it, press it in and out, should be spring loaded
hope this helps..let me know

so.... either the cable is broken, or the parking brake mechanism is missing, broken, rusted? You should be able to crawl under and watch the cables being pulled as somone works the parking brake lever. If they work ok, then its time to pull the wheels off and ck the brakes.

You may have a broken bolt. Once I saw a broken brake caliper bolt and when the brakes were applied the caliper shifted up and ground into the rim just like your seeing...just take the wheel off and investigate its not that hard.

Without checking it out it would be hard to pin down, but it pretty much HAS to be one of these things. A broken shock or spring, a broken brake disc or one of the discs in loose in the caliper. If it is a shock making that kind of noise it would likely be visibly broken and show other signs (bouncing, popping).If it were a spring~ sometimes they are just noisy, but they should also make the noise at other times.If you haven't had the noise occur at any other time (rough terrain, tight cornering) it's almost certainly brakes.It's a good idea to replace all four at a time~ in my experience if two are worn, all are worn.

leased? take that thing back and dispute that it is not safe to drive. they need to do a complete check up on that vehicle. it could be as little as the the dash malfunctuning, to brake broken and 4wd broken. which idk how that would even be possible. at 21000 miles it may still be under warrenty and there is prob something writen into the lease about problems like this. please go to your dealer

You have to look under the car and see if the cable is broken. If it is'nt then it has to be ajusted.
