Malibu Maxx

  • 26,000 miles
The parking brake on my 2005 Chevy Malibu maxx won't fully release and as evidenced has caused extreme heat in the rear disc brakes. This has rendered the parking brake unusable and there is no adjustment to facilitate full parking brake release as told to me by a Chevrolet dealer. I must now park my car with no parking brake set.
