Rattling ebrake

[Spaded]

Just picked up a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon with a manual transmission and I absolutely love it!

That being said, does anyone else's ebrake rattle quite a bit when releasing? I can't tell if it's the button or something further inside but there is a noticeable rattle/looseness.

Also, might be nothing and I'm just now noticing it...

I have 2022 JT rubicon. My E-brake was loose and rattled soon after delivery as well. Took it in twice to the dealer for a fix. First time they tightened it and it came loose again within a day. Second time they got it right. It has been going strong for awhile now. Super firm and and a tight pull now.

Since you're likely out of warranty with a 2020, you can fix this yourself. I looked in my youtube history because I know I found one for a JL and the same procedure would apply to your JT (I didn't find it).

You just need to remove a small part of the center console so you can get to the e-brake adjustment screw to re-tension the line.

Definitely sounds like what I'm experiencing. Thanks for chiming in!

Luckily, it's CPO, so I'd think it would be covered.

I have the same issue since new but haven’t had a chance to fix it yet. :-/

Update - they serviced and tightened the ebrake today and the pull is much tighter. Kind of strange for a vehicle with only 25k miles on it
