Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was recently informed by mechanic as i took my vehicle in for inspection that it could not be passed due to "emergency brake" issue. i do not use my emergency brake yet the rear rotors and brake shoes have worn beyond use. i was also informed by the mechanic that 3 out of 4 of their customers who own the same make/model of vehicle (2000 chev suburban) have had the same problem. although i am not aware of any "safety recall" i am curious to know if any others have complained. because i was not aware that my brakes were wearing, this could have possibly resulted in an accident when i may have needed to use them. also informed that the brake issue could cause poor fuel efficiency. not good in this day & time (gas is too expensive.). any help/info you could advise at this point is greatly appreciated. thank you in advance for your help. /tm. *nm
