Consumer Description

MY EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT WORK ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 SERIES. I WENT TO GET IT INSPECTED TODAY AND IT FAILED INSPECTION B/C OF THIS PROBLEM....WHICH I HAD NO IDEA OF! I AM GLAD I FOUND OUT THIS WAY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVROLETS AND IT IS QUITE AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO FIX. I CALLED PARKS CHEVROLET IN CHARLOTTE AND THEY WANT ME TO COME BY NEXT TUESDAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. BUT IF THIS A COMMON PROBLEM SHOULDN'T IT BE RECALLED OR SHOULDN'T THE VEHICLE TELL ME THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS NOT WORKING?? I THINK THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM.*AK
