| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Parking brake failure: results from one time driving off with the parking brake on or simply towing a trailer and parking it on a hill and setting the parking brake. the parking brake on these 1999-2002 gmc trucks and suvs are a dangerous. they gives no indication that the parking brake is working because the pedal feels the same, no resistance, when working and when not. our friends own a 2002 denali and we were at a boat ramp, he backed the denali with the boat on the trailer on the boat ramp, parked it and loaded the boat. climbed back in to launch it and the truck's transmission had torque locked because the parking brake failed. we had to get our car to tow him slightly forward to get the transmission to release. if the parking pin in the transmission failed due to over exersion from lack of a function parking brake, it could cause serious injury and major property damage. when we tried to fix our parking brake in our denali, we discovered that we would have to replace the hub as well because the pads had destroyed the inside of the hub to the point that it would not work even if the pads were replaced. this is the case in everyone that we know who owns a gm truck.*ak |
