NHTSA complaint #11235108, filed 2019-07, 196,000 miles“I was in a car accident. While driving, I don't know what happened but something caused my truck to roll over. Earlier that day I remember that my parking brake would not work. I also had some trouble putting the gear into park. My airbags didn't deploy during this accident, and I was driving with cruise control on if that has any bearing on this. Also, my front tires were always needing air.”

Parking brake seemed to be really soft, but lot assured us, nothing was wrong with it and that the new technology we had with vehicle's, made it easier for elderly people and such. Yes the brake works great on level ground, but wait until you really need it like on a sloped driveway............. Or getting the vehicle inspected! …”
