Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am the original owner of a 2000 chevrolet suburban purchased from mac haik chevrolet in houston. i have complained about the inability of the parking brake to hold the vehicle in my driveway, and have had the rear pads/shoes replaced and the brakes adjusted more than once. each repair seems to last a few thousand miles so i gave up returning to the dealer for repair. however, i have been informed that the vehicle will not pass a safety inspection required in texas and do not feel that i should have to pay to have this repaired now that i have learned that there is a tsb that addresses this concern (02-05-26-002a-(01/28/2003). i am requesting that this issue be researched more thoroughly. if more drivers actually used their parking brakes on a regular basis this would be more commonly reported. *ak
