PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET SILVERADO PARKING BRAKES. THEY FAIL CONSTENTLY...ITS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN PULLING A BOAT OR PARKING ON A HILL, ESPECIALLY WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

ONCE ALSO TO DEALER BECAUSE BRAKE PETAL WENT TO FLOOR WHILE STOPPED AT INTERSECTION - WAS TOLD THIS WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. DATE IS OF FIRST INCIDENT. *AK
