Consumer Description

DT: 2002 CHEVY SUBUBRAN 1500LS. THE PARKING BRAKE IS INEFFECTIVE AND HAS BEEN SINCE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. BOUGHT THIS USED, BUT ABOUT A WEEK LATER AFTER PURCHASE. DID TAKE TO A DEALER FROM WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER THOUGHT THAT THE BRAKE WAS EXAMINED, AND THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS OKAY, AND SHOULD HOLD A VEHICLE ON A SLOPE. OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS HAVE DECIDED THE PARKING BRAKE WAS A PROBLEM. THERE WAS A SLOPE IN DRIVEWAY, TESTED, AND FOUND THAT IT DID NOT WORK. DID NOT TAKE BACK TO DEALER, BUT OWNER FELT IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT. *AK
