Consumer Description

MY TRUCKS PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN INOPERATIVE SINCE 15,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN WITH THE BRAKE ON AND NEVER USED THE BRAKE IN AN INAPPROPRIATE WAY. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR TRUCKS LIKE MINE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR TO OWNER OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION TYPE SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE.... NO HOLDING POWER WHEN PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED. THE REPAIR COST IS VERY HIGH, AND I HATE TO SPEND THE MONEY IF IT WILL ONLY LAST ANOTHER 15,000 MILES! *NM
