Concerns with the parking brake on the 2001 Chevrolet Blazer.** answer required***. although the parking brake was engaged and the vehicle was in neutral the vehicle was able to roll backwards. This is the second time this has occurred. The parking brake has been adjusted three times.

The parking brake falls to the floor when the driver presses down on it, causing the vehicle to move slightly. The consumer is concerned that the vehicle is not secure, and could cause it to roll and cause an accident. The parking brakes had to be adjusted 3 times in 2 years. The brake would eventually go down to the floor board again. The consumer believes there is either a design flaw or the parts were defective at the time of assembly. The last adjustment, the parking brake was within one inch of the floor board.

Parking brake does not hold. Adjustments made starting at 20000 miles and three other services. Now at 38000 miles we are told that the brake needs to be replaced. The brake has never held well and now not at all. I have noted many others with the same experience in online chat rooms. This is a real problem, GM is aware of it and it is dangerous.
