Consumer Description

THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE BROKE, PREVENTING THE BRAKE RELEASE AND PREVENTING CAR FROM MOVING. WHEN I BOUGHT A NEW CABLE AT THE DEALER THE PARTS COUNTER MAN TOLD ME "IT IS COMMON FOR THESE TO BREAK". IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN OUT IN THE EVENING, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF THIS IS "COMMON" I WOULD LIKE A RECALL SO THEY CAN ALL BE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED CABLE. *TR
