PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL
PARKING BRAKE FAILURE: RESULTS FROM ONE TIME DRIVING OFF WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON OR SIMPLY TOWING A TRAILER AND PARKING IT ON A HILL AND SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE. THE PARKING BRAKE ON THESE 1999-2002 GMC TRUCKS AND SUVS ARE A DANGEROUS. THEY GIVES NO INDICATION THAT THE PARKING BRAKE IS WORKING BECAUSE THE PEDAL FEELS THE SAME, NO RESISTANCE, WHEN WORKING AND WHEN NOT. OUR FRIENDS OWN A 2002 DENALI AND WE WERE AT A BOAT RAMP, HE BACKED THE DENALI WITH THE BOAT ON THE TRAILER ON THE BOAT RAMP, PARKED IT AND LOADED THE BOAT. CLIMBED BACK IN TO LAUNCH IT AND THE TRUCK'S TRANSMISSION HAD TORQUE LOCKED BECAUSE THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED. WE HAD TO GET OUR CAR TO TOW HIM SLIGHTLY FORWARD TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO RELEASE. IF THE PARKING PIN IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO OVER EXERSION FROM LACK OF A FUNCTION PARKING BRAKE, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE. WHEN WE TRIED TO FIX OUR PARKING BRAKE IN OUR DENALI, WE DISCOVERED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE HUB AS WELL BECAUSE THE PADS HAD DESTROYED THE INSIDE OF THE HUB TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD NOT WORK EVEN IF THE PADS WERE REPLACED. THIS IS THE CASE IN EVERYONE THAT WE KNOW WHO OWNS A GM TRUCK.*AK

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
THE METAL PIECE HOLDING THE 3RD ROW SEAT OF MY 2001 YUKON SNAPPED. IT IS AN ALUMINUM PIECE WITH A HARD COAT OF PLASTIC ON IT. I DO HAVE THE PIECE. WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALER TALKING TO THEM, THEY MENTIONED SOMEONE ELSE HAD JUST BEEN IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE WAS IN THE THIRD ROW SEAT THEIR SAFETY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHLY COMPROMISED. THE THIRD ROW SEATS ARE HARDLY USED, SO WEAR AND TEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. *JB

PARKING BRAKE
THE DESIGN OF MY 2000 GMC YUKON'S EMERGENCY BRAKE IS FAULTY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED ON MY CAR TWICE. IN APRIL OF 2002, MY CAR FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORKING. I HAD TO PAY $550 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND REPLACE A REAR ROTOR THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD DAMAGED BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS HAD WORN DOWN AND THE BASE OF THE BRAKE DAMAGED THE ROTOR. THE CAR PASSED INSPECTION BUT THE BRAKE DID NOT SEEM TO WORK WELL. SO IN 2004, INSPECTION TIME ROLLS AROUND AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AGAIN FAILS. I WAS TOLD GM HAD PLACED A RECALL TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGN BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS TRUE OR NOT. EITHER WAY, THE DESIGN ON THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE. THE ONLY TIME THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS EVER USED IS WHEN THE STATE INSPECTION SERVICE TESTS IT TO SEE IF IT WORKS. GMC SHOULD FIX THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHERE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOULD NOT BE A $400 PROBLEM EVERY TWO YEARS. *JB
