My truck was taken to quality gmc with no remediation. After third time to dealer, requested replacement of rear rotors and parking brake shoes, symptoms continue; no parking brake effect. Removed rear brake rotors and observed uneven wear; contact patch was uneven and centered on shoes. Truck still does not hold on parking brake application. Was directed to this site by pete's safety lane, an independent shop who knew of the recall and problem.
