| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Parking brake (e-brakes) failure of chevy silverado 1500 z71 with 4-wheel disc abs brakes. truck purchased new from family chevrolet in shingle springs ca. e-brakes never worked from day one, however, i was told this was how they functioned due to 4-wheel disc system (from dealership)-wrong. after asking other chevy truck owners with the same e-brake system, they too experience the same problems. i am very surprised that gm did not send a recall notice out for this problem. though gm did send out a recall on the tail gate support cables, i find this problem much more of a safety problem since the e-brakes are suppose to hold back a 2 ton vehicle of which it does not. a mechanic from les schwab tires (and brakes) told me after he inspected my e-brake system that he has seen this problem continuously occurs with this type of e-brake system with gm trucks. *nm |
