Two problems related to parking brake have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet P30. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Auto park-emergency brake engaged while driving on interstate. The brake shoe burned out and cable housing melted. Since out of town I was charged unfairly and had only the emergency brake fixed. The auto park works off the same brake shoe but the motor is burned up. I made it home without auto park and will have it fixed at my local dealer. I have a letter from gm recall processing dated oct. 2004 that they tell me is only a warning to watch the system.
While parked, the emergency parking brake released without warning. On three occasions the emergency brake was applied without warning and while driving. This resulted in total burn out of the brake.
