Recent vehicle inspection rejection due to parking brake failure to operate on 2000 Chevrolet silverado. The parking brake failed to operate at a very low mileage on this vehicle. Repairs led to hundreds of dollars. I am aware of a recall on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, did Chevrolet equip auto transmissions with a different parking brake system? this auto maker should step up and correct this problem on all affected vehicles,thanks vr.

My parking brake has failed on my 2000 Silverado 1500, 2 times. The parking brake became engaged while driving (the pedal was up and no light was showing) causing the vehicle to drag. It had to be towed to a garage to have the parking brake shoes and clip replaced.

- the contact had the parking brake assembly replaced on vehicle with 117000 miles. Then, found out that there was a recall on the same model and year for the parking brake , but the dealer would not honor the recall because VIN was not included. The contact has the repair order for the work done, as well as the parts. Also, the dealer told the contact that the parking brake was damaging the rotors.

Parking brake on 1999 Chevrolet silverado doesn't release completely and drags on the drum causing excessive wear on the drum and brake shoe. As the wear increases the brakes lose their ability to hold the vehicle.
