What owners wrote
Emergency parking brake failure: parked truck on 2% incline, put in neutral(5 speed manual), and set parking brake. 5 minutes later truck began to roll forward and hit a telephone pole causing extensive damage.
When the consumer attempted to apply the brakes, they did not perform as designed, as a result the brakes seized up and the vehicle came to a halt and the brake piston shattered causing brake fluid to leak. Brake pads were the root cause the pads from the bracking plate and the calipers resulting in the caliper pistons to grind into the rotor.
