| Parking Brake problems |
The truck was parked and the emergency brake set. It rolled down an incline and struck me with the driver side of the truck and knocked me unconcious and crashed into the garage. I really don not remember anything as I was out.
On the interstate traveling 60-65 mph I started feeling a vibration. Pulled off to check tires and seen nothing obvious but could smell something hot. Pulled into well lit parking garage. Found rear drivers side brake locked on to tire. The invoice states 'driver rear parking brake cable was not releasing. Had to tear apart the driver rear drum assembly and unhook cable from shoes. Had to unload spring tension on parking brake pedal assembly in order to unhook cables. When drivers rear cable removed it was locked up.
Driver applied the parking brake and the parking brake failed. Driver took the vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the parking brake mechanism needed to be replaced.
