Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Parking brake failure. when new the parking brake pedal went easily to the floor, but the vehicle would hold on a hill with the transmission in neutral. dealer advised that although tis didn't feel right, it was a new design and was working properly. within a couple of years, engaging the parking brake pedal didn't do any good - the vehicle would not hold on a hill. i could not adjust brake myself as it appeared to be some sort of hydraulic system rather than a regular one. mechanic advised that job would cost $100. so be it. chevy wouldn't cover it. now, brake will, again, not hold and chevy won't do anything. *nm
