Consumer Description

THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY CHEVY TRUCK FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT HAS BEEN WEAK. I SELDOM USE IT AND HAVE NEVER DRIVEN IT WHILE ENGAGED, HOWEVER IT HAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT THE SHOES AND DESTROYED MY ROTOR/DRUMS. I HAD NOT NOTICED IT UNTIL I RECENTLY TRIED TO OBTAIN AN INSPECTION. THE ATTENDANT THEN IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE AND INFORMED ME THAT IT DID NOT WORK AND IT COSTS $400 TO $500 TO REPAIR. HE ALSO STATED THAT ALL CHEVY TRUCKS OF THESE YEARS ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM THANKFUL THAT I HAD NOT ENCOUNTERED A SITUATION WHERE I WOULD NEED IT AS IT HAD WORN ITSELF OUT WITHOUT EVEN BEING USED. *JB
