PARKING BRAKE
THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FUNCTION OR HOLD THE TRUCK FROM MOVEMENT AT ALL. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REMEMDY THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT A SIGNIFICATE REPAIR CHARGE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES AND NO OTHER BRAKE ISSUES. GM JUST RECENTLY ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS EXACT BRAKE SYSTEM BUT LIMITED IT TO ONLY VEHICLES. THE TEXT FROM A NEWS PUBLICATION ON THIS RECALL READS: "THE 1500 SERIES OF THE CHEVY SILVERADO BETWEEN 1999-2002 AND GMC SIERRA PICKUPS, THE 2500 AND 3500 SERIES, BETWEEN 2001-04, TO REPAIR THE PARKING BRAKE. THE RECALL ONLY AFFECTS TRUCKS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, A TOTAL OF 142,585 VEHICLES. FRICTION CAN LEAD TO PARKING BRAKE FAILURES, WHICH COULD ALLOW UNATTENDED VEHICLES TO MOVE, GM SAID. " I HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN WITH MY PARKING BRAKE, AND IT SEEMS GM DOES AS WELL, BUT LIMITS IT TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. DOES THIS IMPLY THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY AUTOMATIC TRUCK IS NOT NEEDED??

SEAT BELTS, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
FRONT AND REAR SEATBELTS LOCK SO TIGHT SOMETIMES THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR RELIEF IS TO UNBUCKLE THEM AND RE-FASTEN WHILE DRIVING! ALL FOUR RETRACTORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ONCE THE SEAT BELT IS UN-FASTENED, THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT COMPLETELY RETRACT BACK IN. THIS LEAVES THE SEAT BELT DANGLING AFTER USE AND POTENTIALLY TOO LOOSE FOR NEXT PASSENGER.
