Suburban 4WD

Consumer states when stopping and activating the park brake, with about 20,000 miles on the vehicle, the vehicle would coast an inch or two and a click could be heard as the transmission positive lock engaged. With vehicle in neutral and the foot brake released, the park brake has no braking effect. Also, the parking brake foot lever goes all the way to the floor. Dealer claims this is the design of the parking brake and there is a self adjusting feature.
