Parking brake on C5
Hello, I have a 99 C5 with a **** poor parking brake, ( IF it catches at all
! ).This has always been the case, I've had the car since new. Now my extended GM warrenty is expiring in a few months. Does anybody know if GM is required to fix this under the extended warrenty? If the parking brake is considered a safety feature I think they should. I would like to find out before I go in for it so I can have my ducks in a row. Anybody? Thanks, C5John |

You could try calling the Service department of your local dealer and
asking - they should know.
