Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE A '93 CHEVY P30 CHASSIS WITH THE INFAMOUS AUTO PARK BRAKE. THE SYSTEM IS UNSAFE AND I AM SCARED OF IT. THE SYSTEM WILL APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE GOING DOWN THE ROAD IF YOU LOSE POWER STEERING FLUID. MINE LEAKS, I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MONITOR THE FLUID, IT LEAKS AT THE ACTUATOR UNDER THE COACH. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS SYSTEM, IT CAN STOP YOU DEAD ON THE HIGHWAY, ONE ONLY CAN THINK WHAT CAN HAPPEN. PLEASE HAVE THEM FIX IT. *JB
