problem #1

Dec 012005

Suburban 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. When the contact started the vehicle, the light that indicates the parking brake is activated was not illuminated. The gear was shifted into drive and the vehicle began to drift while the emergency brake was still applied. The contact turned off the engine. Prior to the failure, the contact heard the sound of metal coming from the rear of the vehicle whenever the brakes were applied. The parking brake was replaced by a repair shop; however, the failure continued. The failure mileage was 30,000 and current mileage was 90,000.
