Description of the problem	Upon moving to houston, i had an inspection performed on my 2001 gmc yukon. It was found that the parking brake had become engaged, even though i do not even use it, and destroyed my rear left rotor, brake pads, and emergency brake pads. In addition to replacing the rotor and all brake pads on the rear left, i also had to have the brake pads on the right rear replaced as well. I have been driving for an unknown amount of time with no rear brake pads or emergency brake. In other words, had i parked my car on an incline and used the parking brake, it would not hold my car. I also had no rear brakes if my front brakes had failed. I have read forums online and have discovered this to be a problem with several other 2001 yukon owners. I bought the car new in 2001 and have had no need for my parking brake. The total damages were over $500 and there is no guarantee this will not happen again as there is no indication when and if the parking brake activates itself. The indicator light does not come on and the parking brake is fully disengaged. *jb
