Consumer Description

2001 CHEVY TAHOE - EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE NOT FUNCTIONING. HAS NOT BEEN FUNCTIONING FOR YEARS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND I NEVER USED IT, BUT WHEN I WAS PARKED ON A HILL RECENTLY, I TRIED TO USE IT BUT IT DID NOT WORK. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IF IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SAFELY PARK WITHOUT POSSIBLY HURTING INNOCENT PEOPLE OR DAMAGING PROPERTY, SHOULD THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE? *TR
