About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The parking brake will not set (lock in place). The teeth on the gear are so small the catch will no longer catch in the teeth. The catch apparently has worn slightly. This leaves an inadequate protrusion on the catch to lock into the gear mechanism. The danger is the possibility of the vehicle leaving its parking space. We live on a hill. We also park in other less than level parking spaces. This vehicle no longer has a parking brake. The design appears inadequate.
