NHTSA complaint #10145389 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
PARKING BRAKE
I FOUND THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS SET WHILE LAUNCHING MY BOAT ON THE SLOPE OF A BOAT RAMP. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DAMAGE IF THE VEHICLE ROLLED WHILE SOMEONE WAS BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT BEGAN ROLLING. THE LOCAL DEALERS MECHANIC CHECKED THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES AND FOUND THAT THE LEFT ONE WAS EXTREMELY WORN WHILE THE RIGHT ONE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS INDICATES THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT ACCIDENTALLY LEFT ON WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE BOTH BRAKES WOULD BE WORN. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER'S REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO COMPENSATE ME OR MAKE MODIFICATIONS SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS MODEL TRUCK EVEN THOUGH OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE SAME TYPE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AT THIS TIME TO HAVE THE BRAKE SHOE REPLACED.

ABS PUMP KEEPS RUNNING HAD TO REMOVE FUSE TO KEEP BATTERY FROM RUNNING DOWN I HAVE A 1999 GMC PICJUP TRUCK. REPAIR OF THIS PUMP IS $1000.00 MOST PEOPLE ARE PULLING THE FUSE AND RUNNING WITHOUT ABS BRAKES. BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOUR BRAKES GIVE OUT. FROM THE RESOURCH I HAVE DONE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THE FAULTY PUMPS. THANK YOU
