Description of the problem | Parking brake initially would not release and stay locked on. Brake shoes wore down to the point that nothing was left on the brake pads to hold the vehicle in place to keep it from rolling down a hill. The van transmission is an automated manual with no clutch, so there is no way to leave the van in gear when stopped and use the transmission to keep the wheels from rolling. I took the van to the dealer. They were aware of the problem but were unsure of why this issue was happening. Their solution was to add all new parking brake parts costing me a total of $1400 to replace. |
