Description of the problem | The parking brake when fully applied, began failing to hold the vehicle in place a week after purchase. The parking brake has been adjusted twice by the dealer. The parking brake petal while fully pressed to the floor, does not appear strong enough to hold the vehicle in place, especially when parked on a hill. The dealer tried to adjust the parking brake tighter during a warranty repair on 7/25/2015 . As a result, the brakes locked up while driving away from the dealership. The parking brake was readjusted again by the dealership that day to it's normal position. The parking brake continues to fail to hold the vehicle in place. |
