| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Parking brake failure. the parking brake has failed to secure vehicle. i realize that recall has been made for manual trans but this has gotten progressively worse and now total failure. failed safety and state vehicle inspection. the internet boards are filled with examples of failed parking/emergency brakes on 2000 yr silverado. this constitutes a design defect and gm needs to address. linkage is now locked in open position effectively providing no emergency brake. this in addition to the failure of the fuel sensing module in fuel tank and the abs brake shudder/failure problems at lower speeds. i just want it on record that gm puts out these trucks yr/yr with these know problems and doesn't correct these safety issues until the nhtsa puts their weight behind it. thx *cbc *nm |
