Auto park-emergency brake engaged while driving on interstate. The brake shoe burned out and cable housing melted. Since out of town I was charged unfairly and had only the emergency brake fixed. The auto park works off the same brake shoe but the motor is burned up. I made it home without auto park and will have it fixed at my local dealer. I have a letter from gm recall processing dated oct. 2004 that they tell me is only a warning to watch the system.
