EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's parking brake system might not work properly, which could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly while stopped on a steep hill.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If the parking brake isn't working right, you might experience unusual braking when accelerating, decelerating, or coasting, and the rear of your vehicle might make a noise. This could lead to your vehicle moving unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
You'll need to take your vehicle to a dealership, where they'll inspect the parking brake system and replace the rear brake caliper if it's not working correctly. This service is free, and you can contact the manufacturer at one of these phone numbers for more information: Buick (1-866-608-8080), Chevrolet (1-800-630-2438), Pontiac (1-800-620-7668), or Saturn (1-800-972-8876).
