Consumer Description

THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES ARE NOT ANCHORED PROPERLY DUE TO POOR DESIGN CAUSING THEM TO DRAG CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. THE SHOES WEAR OUT AS DO THE DRUMS WITHIN THE ROTORS CAUSING LOSS OF PARKING BRAKE ACTION. THIS CAN OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AND POSSIBLY IMPACT A PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER OBJECT. THE DEALER (TROPICAL CHEVROLET) ADVISES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS REPAIRED SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES USING ORIGINAL PARTS. A KIT IS FORTHCOMING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THE PROBLEM WILL REPEAT ITESLF UNTIL A CORRECTION IS MADE.*AK
