I became suspicious after looking at the "service advisors" writ-up which was nothing like i had described to him or the mechanic and nothing like they had told me the repair was. When…

To whom it may concern: in july 2010, i purchased a 2004 chevy z71 with rear disk brakes, didn't take long to find out the parking brake did not hold.

I tried "pumping the pedal" to no effect. I tried the emergency brake. It did not hold the car. I pulled off the road. Slowed down by down shifting. Could not find the problem. Pumped the brakes a few times. I saw a puddle under the…

Corroded brake lines caused the failure of both front and rear brakes at the same time. Inoperable rear emergency brakes provided no emergency stopping ability. Replaced brake lines. Emergency brake not repaired. I understand that trucks with manual transmissions were recalled for emergency brake defect correction, but trucks with automatic transmissions were not eventhough they have the same emergency brake system.…
