THE CAMAROS WITH REAR DSK BRAKES/MANUAL TRANNY WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE ONES W/ REAR DRUM BRAKES, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THE PERSON WHO OWNED THIS CAR AT TIMES OF RECALLS DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH ANY OF THEM, I DON'T KNOW TIME OF FAILURE OF E-BRAKE, BUT IT HASN'T EVER WORKED SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I'LL CHECK WITH A GM DEALER AND SEE IF THEY'LL FIX IT FOR ME, BUT THOUGHT I'D REPORT THIS FIRST, I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GET THIS FIXED, BUT HAVE PROCRASTINATED ABOUT IT. IF YOU LIKE, YOU CAN E-MAIL A RESPONSE TO ME-UFNUT@AOL.COM.
