| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The parking brake on our 2001 suburban has failed for the 3rd time in 4 years. from discussions with repair shops and other suburban owners, it is apparent that gm has a real design flaw in the parking brake mechanism for the 2000 plus suburbans. we live in a very hilly part of the state of texas and a good parking break would normally be considered essential. i hope that the nhtsa opens an investigation and gets this bad design recalled before one of these large suv's accidentally breaks loose when parked on a hill and kills some child. *nm |
