Two problems related to parking brake linkage and cable have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2000 chev Suburban parking brakes lost effectiveness about 40000 miles. At 79550 miles all pads, rotors and parking brake linings were replaced. Very similar to many other complaints to NHTSA. One side lining was good, the other gone. One rear rotor could have been resurfaces, the other very bad. Good life for service brakes. Very poor life for seldom used parking brakes.
Parking brake failed vehicle inspection. Mechanic replaced parking lever assembly because of a stretched cable. Still wouldn't work. Found malfunctioning parking brake adjuster. Local dealer says he is selling between 10-15 parking lever assemblies a month. Inspection station says they are rejecting on average 15-20 vehicle inspections a month from new Suburbans because of emergency brake failure.
