| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2000 chevrolet suburban new in july of 2000. within 2 years of purchase the emergency brake would not hold very well. living in houston, texas. this seemed odd since the emergency brake was rarely used. i noticed it gradually getting worse. in august of 2005 we moved to a part of texas with hills and needed the parking brake, but it would not hold even if fully depressed. repairs at the chevrolet dealer totaled $485 plus tax. how could the lining, rotors, shoes, and retainers of the parking brake need replacing if the brake just holds the vehicle in place when and if used? this seems like a defect to me.*ak |
