Component | PARKING BRAKE |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Occurring since vehicle purchased new on july 9, 2005 with six year extended warranty. The failure is that the parking brake does not work properly despite repeated attempts by two dealers to as they say "adjust" it. The brake works and actuates 1-2 times out of 10 and does not work in reverse ever. Dealer told me it is not designed to work in reverse at all and will not hold in reverse. The dealers see no defect and have never replaced any parts. The brake lining is in excellent condition. Due to this situation i suspect it is simply a manufacturer defect or design flaw with serious safety implications if the transmission park pin failed. |
