| Description of the problem | Dates indicated above are approximate... Immediately after purchase (new), i noticed that the emergency / parking brake would not hold the vehicle even on a slight incline. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and asked them to adjust the brake. Afterward, i noted a slight improvement, but the parking brake still would not hold the vehicle. I inquired about the situation again, and the dealership's technician told me that the brake had been adjusted to the max allowance and that the brake was not designed to hold the vehicle, but only to assist when parking on an incline. I did not and still do not believe that this is true/accurate; however, i could not prove otherwise, so i took no further action. |
