I live in the "flat land"of georgia so I never use this brake,park gear is sufficient. I took truck to dealer and had rear wheeles "pulled"and inspected. .

Parking Brake problem of Chevrolet Avalanche
The car involved was a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. VIN of the vehicle was 3GNEK13T42_. Parking brake worn out and rotor rusted at 36ooo miles. I don't use the parking brake at all. Why was it worn out? rear brake pads also wore out before front pads. Design of parking brake makes adjustment almost impossible at the wheel. The cable cannot be adjusted enough to activate the parking brake. The parts man at the dealershipjust shrugged his shoulders and informed me that the only possible remedy is to replace both rotors, pads and parking brake shoes. This seems like a design flaw. This parking brake issue occurred Nov. 1, 2004.

The vehicle was a 2011 Ford F-550. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of this Ford F-550 is 1FD0W5HT4B_. This complaint is a follow-up to your ref# 521328. It concerns an un-delivered emergency vehicle that plastiscol composites, that is being paid with fema funds under a federal grant and is trying to force a vibrating drive line problem vehicle to other companies without telling them. The vehicle is now over 930 days late, due to poorly engineering the drive line after installing a pto in the drive line to power the rear mounted pump. On numerous occasion, plastisol workers brought the vehicle to the repair shop to be inspected for acceptance, but on each occasion, numerous defects were noted including cold welds, loose parts poor assembly. And the most serious, was the drive line vibration that began at 40 mph and became worse. Plastisol workers admitted that they have no engineer assisting them to resolved the problem and don't know what to do. The is equivalent to NHTSA recall campaign # 10v092000. I would like you to investigate this vehicle and determine if the drive line vibration is safe and the vehicle is road worthy and won't cause the failure of the universal joints and a crash , which could jeopardize the lives of the firemen or the general public. I would like you to inspect all welds of the fabricated cross member . The pto is attached to and determine if they are within industry standards or poorly welded and unsafe. I would like you to investigate all trucks produced by plastisol. . . Updated 12/17/13. This issue happened on Wed., May. 16, 2012.

Parking Brake problem of Honda Accord
The vehicle involved was a 2003 Honda Accord. I was traveling on the interstate and my gas pedal locked, then my steering system, followed by the gas pedal. I was surrounded by huge trucks and was traveling with small children and was able to stop the car. I then repeatedly smashed the brake pedal and forced the steering to stir me to the side of the road the car went into the ditch and came to a fairly abrupt stop. When I arrived to the dealership, they told me that it was a problem with the alternator, but suggested that I should replaced the water pump. I asked for an engineer to look at the car and be given a statement of safety before I risked my life driving the car. They agreed when my brother-in-law asked but I was denied after he got off the phone and spoke with me although my car is 90 days old and under a full bumper to bumper warranty.

Land rover Discovery Ii front drive shafts will always fail catastrophically between 60,000 to 70,000 miles.

Every Discovery Ii on the road has these front shafts fail and the owners of the vehicles have never been warned of this extreme danger. This problem occurred on Feb. 15, 2006.

none. The car has been routinely serviced. (2) failure and its consequences:
the car, twice, while attempting to accelerate, would slow down and seems to be weighed down. The car will not accelerate. The abs brakes go off, and the emergency brake lights go off.
