Pontiac G5 Parking Brake Safety Report | Mar 05, 2009
Reported on Mar 05, 2009
| THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 07 PONTIAC G5 GT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY FOR A PLASTIC PIECE OF THE RATCHET MECHANISM IN THE HANDLE BREAKING. IN ORDER FOR THE PARKING BRAKE TO BE REASONABLY EFFECTIVE ON A HILL, IT MUST BE VERY FIRMLY APPLIED. WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RATCHET ALREADY GIVING OUT ONCE, I'M WARY OF LEAVING MY CAR PARKED WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR TO AID THE PARKING BRAKE TO AVOID A ROLL-AWAY. THE BRAKE CONTINUES TO BE INSECURE WHEN UNDER NOMINAL TENSION. *TR | |
