| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1999 chevy silverado pick up parking brake issue. there is currently a safety recall for manual transmission models only. this recall involves replacement of the parking brake shoes and installation of a revised spring clip. why is this not applicable to vehicles with automatic transmissions ?? i realize the parking brake is more critical in a manual transmission vehicle. however, does this make it right to exclude automatic transmission vehicles from such a safety issue?? there is too many occurrences of this safety related problem in numerous model years for it not to be properly addressed by gm as a recall/covered repair! *nm |
