BAD DESIGN OF EMERGENCY BRAKE ON MY 2002 TAHOE SUV. HAD SELDOM USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAS GETTING THE STATE INSPECTION DONE AND WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO FAILURE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AUTO REPAIR REPLACED THE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT.
LATE MODEL (YEAR 2000+) FULL SIZE GM VEHICLES HAVE PARKING BRAKES THAT FAIL TO FUNCTION IN AS FEW AS 15,000 MILES. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHETHER THE DRIVER USES THE BRAKE OR NOT. I AM A TEXAS STATE VEHICLE INSPECTOR IN THE FORT WORTH AREA AND HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THESE WITH A COMMON DESIGN DEFECT.*AK
