Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY TAHOE WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO GMAC FOR BRAKE INSPECTIONS WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT IS THE WAY EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE. I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE E-BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE (DRIVE) WITH THE E-BRAKE ON. NOW, I AM UP TO 70,000 MILES AND I'M SCARED THAT THE VEHICLE WON'T STOP WHEN I NEED IT TOO. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY TAHOES IN YEARS 200-2003 DUE TO A BRAKE PAD ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *JB
