Parking Brake problem #1

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet S10. The contact stated that while attempting to apply the parking brake, it failed to engage. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for repair or inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90000. Updated 11/15/cn.

Parking Brake problem #2

I have a 2003 s-10 that when it is damp out due to rain or melting snow my rear brakes will lock up. I have taken it to 2 different mechanics and they both say the rear brakes are out of adjustment. After a few days it happens again. Again the mechanics claim the brakes are out of adjustment. It has been in the shop a total of 4 times between the two mechanics each saying the same thing. It is slowly getting worse and has caused me to skid and at times "get sideways" in the road. I have since parked the truck and am driving a different vehicle.
