Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Hand brake failure! hand brake was noticed to not be functioning at 30k warranty service. service department replaced brake shoes. brake only functioned for 3 months and began to fail again. i then replaced the brake shoes again myself so that i could pass inspection and have again been worn out in just a few months. i was then made aware of tsb #02-05-26-002 which eventually became tsb# 02-05-002a. it seems that gm is aware that there is a problem with their retainer clip design and have developed a replacement, but i believe that the cost should be theirs and not the consumers. i have placed notes in forums so that others do the same. *jb
