Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 chevy tahoe i could not get my car inspected because the parking brake would not work .i took it to my repair shop and found the factory parking brake clips that hold the brake shoe in alignment were not designed properly. they now have an upgrade clip after the fact. the brake shoe causes $200 or more in damage to the rotor and pads and more concerning than that is you don't know you have a problem until the parking brake doesn't work! general motors does not take this serious enough to have a recall or warranty the repair this is a dangerous situation. people don't know about this problem. thank you david. *nm
