general problems of the 1999 GMC Sierra

Parking brake does not hold anymore. This previously happened while the vehicle was under warranty and the dealership replaced the parking brake pads. It has happened again and upon inspection I found that the pads wear unevenly. Parking brake pads should not wear. This vehicle is equipped with a audible warning to prevent driving with parking brakes applied.

The caller received recall 05v161000 concerning parking brake. Dealer and manufacturer told him his vehicle was not include because the vehicle had an automatic transmission. The recall did not include the automatic transmissions. Caller's vehicle had same problem as mentioned in recall. The caller was concerned for safety because of defective parking brake.

Seems to be a recall on the manual transmisson for 1999 GMC pick up but the automatic has the same issue , the parking brakes do not engaged. I know three people with GMC pick automatic transmission they to do not have working parking brakes.

The rear emergency brakes failed twice prematurely due to broken a retaining pin which caused the emergency brake shoe to engage and wear completely off, also the rear brake pads were replaceed.
