| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The design of my 2000 gmc yukon's emergency brake is faulty. the emergency brake failed on my car twice. in april of 2002, my car failed inspection due to the emergency brake not working. i had to pay $550 to replace the brake pads and replace a rear rotor that the emergency brake had damaged because the emergency brake pads had worn down and the base of the brake damaged the rotor. the car passed inspection but the brake did not seem to work well. so in 2004, inspection time rolls around and my emergency brake again fails. i was told gm had placed a recall to fix their faulty design but i am not sure if that is true or not. either way, the design on this car is terrible. the only time the emergency brake is ever used is when the state inspection service tests it to see if it works. gmc should fix the brake system where the emergency brake should not be a $400 problem every two years. *jb |
