Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 'CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED' 2002 TAHOE 8/2004 THAT HAD 26,000 MILES. I TOOK IT THROUGH STATE INSPECTION 8/2005 AND FAILED BECAUSE I HAD NO EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE INSPECTOR SAID HE HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. I WENT TO MATHIS TIRE AND THEY SAID MY BRAKE PADS WERE TO THE ROTORS AND IT WOULD COST $350. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM HOW IT PASSED THEIR 150 POINT INSPECTION WITH A WORN EMERGENCY BRAKE. THEY TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS NOT PART OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY INITIALLY WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $350 UNTIL I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER. I ENDED UP PAYING $184 TO FIX IT. I TOOK MY TRUCK THROUGH INSPECTION 7/11/08 AND FAILED BECAUSE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN EMERGENCY BRAKE WEARING AWAY MORE THAN ONCE BUT TO HAVE IT HAPPEN TWICE. AND, NO I DO NOT RIDE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. *TR
