Parking Brake
The parking brake on the 2000 chevrolet tahoe failed inspection because the emergency brake failed to stop the vehicle. The problem was diagnosed by three separate mechanics all of whom notified me that this is a common problem among 2000 chevrolet tahoes, suburbans, & trucks. I have rarely used my emergency brake. This problem ruined my brake drums and cost me nearly $1000.00.*ak
