Consumer Description

HAVING RECENTLY MOVED INTO NORTH CAROLINA, MY 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCK FAILED THE NORTH CARLOINA STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE. THE PARKING BRAKE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR SEVERAL YEARS, EVEN AFTER BRAKE SERVICE ON THE REAR WHEELS. THE MANUFACTURER SERVICE BULLETIN HAS ONLY BEEN FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMPANY CONSIDERS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO BE PART OF THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM. NORTH CAROLINA HAS A DIFFERENT VIEW. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ UPDATED *JB
