Parking brake will not hold in reverse. Dealership and gm states this is "normal. " does not even hold on a slight incline, and on some drive ways the car gets stuck in park because of this. Known as "torque lock", the car will not disengage from gear because of load on transmission. I have to have someone rock the car back and fourth to disengage transmission. Fear the transmission is experiencing excess stress and may not hold causing accident or injury to unsuspecting people behind the vehicle.
The parking brake will not hold. We had it serviced by Chevrolet two times and within a couple of months the brake stopped holding again.

The parking brakes would not hold the vehicle when it's parked on an incline. The dealer and the manufacturer were both notified. The problem occurred heading up a slight incline, with the right foot on the brake and the shift lever in neutral. The vehicle rolled back until the consumer applied the brake again and set the shift lever in the park position.

Consumer was told that the manufacturer reduced the size of the parking brake, which decreased the holding power/ effectiveness of the brake. While the consumer's vehicle was parked on a slight incline, with the parking brake set, the brake would not keep the vehicle from rolling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The first time the consumer was told that the parking brake was adjusted. The second time the consumer was told that it was normal for the brake not to hold/restrain the vehicle when parked on an incline.

When accelerating to enter the freeway at about 45+ miles an hour, the car would not stop accelerating. I tried to put the car in neutral, downshift, and apply the brakes. I also at the urging of 911 staff, applied the emergency brakes. The car after roughly 5 miles of continued acceleration eventually stopped. The car was towed to the dealer we bought the car from. They promplty told us it was the fault of our floor mat. They reported that we would need to pay the $2000. 00 to replace the brakes, roters, and calipers. The head of service suggested we call our insurance company to have them pay for the damage to the brakes, etc. Dt.
