I have a 2002 Z71 and the parking brake works great so far 14000 miles.I had a 2001 tahoe with the same problem and the dealer fixed it by adjusting the rear brakes,maybe not same problem??

chrisntam said:I took my AV in for its yearly state inspection and the parking brake did not hold at all. What? I've never used it. My AV is an '02 with a little under 17k on it.
I took it to the dealer and they fixed it without hesitation. He said they replaced the shoes and adjusted the cable. He said since I did not use it, that is why it the shoes wore out. Huh? He also said that I should use it 3 to 4 times a week to keep it in adjusted.
Anyone heard of such a thing?
Thanks for the info....brheas said:Here is a copy of the Service Bulletin that I got from 7of7. I fixed my parking brake today, more details to follow in another post along with a picture of what the shoes looked like.
