Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 SIERRA PICKUP WITH AUTO TRANS AND THE PARKING BAKE IS NOT WORKING. THE OTHER DAY I SET THE BRAKE IN THE DRIVE WAY AND NOTICED THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY (IT WAS IN NEUTRAL). I ADJUSTED THE BRAKE TO ITS MAXIMUM SETTING AND IT STILL WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE. SINCE THEN I HAVE PULLED THE WHEEL ROTOR TO INSPECT THE PARKING BRAKE. IT IS A ONE PIECE SHOE DESIGN. THE LINING IS WORN FUNNY. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM THAT IS BEING RECALLED IN THE MANUAL TRANS VERSION OF THIS TRUCK. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE LINING, HOWEVER I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WORE OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE
