I'm with you. There is definitely a design flaw in the parking brake assembly. I recently had to replace my shoes after failing inspection. However, I noticed that the brake went to the floor just a few months after getting my Avalanche in 2001. My service writer at the time said it was fine. My latest service writer was brutally honest and said it is a bad design, but since GM has not issued a recall, I would have to pay to replace the shoes. I have emailed Chevy at their site and filed a complaint with the TSB. If everybody here with this problem would do the same thing, we might get some action out of GM. Unfortunately since this problem is unlike to cause personal injury, GM will likely ignore the problem. No vehicle is perfect and there will always be quirks, but I believe this is a large and serious problem that should be addressed by GM.
