Parking Brake problem

I own a 1996 Toyota Tacoma which has a recall for rust. The entire undercarriage is rusting out. I took it to my local Toyota dealer for examination because my mechanic said it was in bad shape. The dealer said it was ok. A little while later the emergency brake mechanism on the bottom rusted out and broke. Luckily it happened in my driveway so there was no accident or damage. The truck just rolled to a halt. If this happened on a hill or in a parking lot someone could have been injured.
