1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2008

Foot brake is not functioning if parked on a grade greater than 8 degrees. As always, foot brake only applied after the gear is shifted on park. I didn't discover the foot brake is not properly function until several years after purchase. It seems the foot brake was not adjusted at all before the vehicle left the factory. If I have the gear set on neutral on driveway, only apply the foot brake, vehicle rolls by itself.
