Consumer Description

1999 CHEVY SILVERADO PICK UP PARKING BRAKE ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A SAFETY RECALL FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODELS ONLY. THIS RECALL INVOLVES REPLACEMENT OF THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES AND INSTALLATION OF A REVISED SPRING CLIP. WHY IS THIS NOT APPLICABLE TO VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ?? I REALIZE THE PARKING BRAKE IS MORE CRITICAL IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. HOWEVER, DOES THIS MAKE IT RIGHT TO EXCLUDE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES FROM SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE?? THERE IS TOO MANY OCCURRENCES OF THIS SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM IN NUMEROUS MODEL YEARS FOR IT NOT TO BE PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY GM AS A RECALL/COVERED REPAIR! *NM
