Component | PARKING BRAKE |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Similar to nhtsa: 05v161000 my 2002 gmc sierra with automatic tranny experiences the very same premature parking brake wear. Wear is uneven and just in 2 little places instead of even wear on whole shoe. Brake wears very quickly then will not hold putting undue stress and causing failure of parking pawl in automatic tranny. Gm refused to do anything. Gm will not fix my vehicle or apply recall since i do not have manual tranny. If anything, automatic tranny is worse since it damages tranny due to stress on pawl since parking brake does not hold vehicle. When brake shoes were replaced, they worked for very short period of time. $250 to replace and i was told it was a known problem and i would be wasting my money because they would wear out quickly again. Odd that shoes wear when vehicle typically is not moving when brake is applied or released. |
