Vehicle was in 4- wheel low and consumer was in back of it, vehicle moved on its own, went down hill, and hit a tree. Dealer found vehicle had jumped from 4- wheel low into neutral due to the linkage not adjusted rightly. Damage to bvehicle was $ 6000. Consumer was injured in accident. *slc
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. It is usually 200-300 dollars to repair. I had my truck roll back while trying to load a boat. I feel this is a problem that chevrolet will not own up too. Luckliy no one was injured. I have looked online at several message boards and it seems to be a widespread problem. Thanks daniel.
