| Parking Brake problems |
I have a 2002, Chevrolet c2500hd pickup. The parking brake doesn't work because the rear axle seals are leaking grease onto the parking brake shoes. This problem started at about 80,000 miles. The Chevrolet dealer said there are no service difficulty reports regarding this problem so they won't fix it. The dealer said the rear axle vent is okay and the axle is not over filled. The rear axle seals should not be leaking at this low mileage (both axle seals are leaking). The pickup has been well cared for, no off road use, mostly light passenger highway service with just a little trailer towing. The rear wheel bearings are not noisy and have very little play.
Parking brake does not hold vehicle after recalled repairs performed. Dealer refused repair.
- when contact parks on a hill and applies the parking brake, quite often the vehicle tries to drift. The contact states that weather condition aren't a problem with the drifting. He has parked on a hill when it has been dry, wet or snowing and the problem continues. The contact is concern because he has brought his vehicle over and over to the dealership and they stated that there isn't anything wrong with the vehicle. The contact can provide copies of invoices if needed.
