I’ve also seen a parking pawl fail on my neighbor’s truck. Thankfully, the only thing that got hit was a tree in someone’s front yard. I don’t think the neighbor learned from it though. I don’t recall ever hearing him set the brake.Please don't remove the parking brake, if people ever saw the park pawl in an automatic transmission they would never park on a hill without setting the brake. And if the hydraulic brakes should fail, having minimally effective mechanical brakes on only the rear wheels is way better than no brakes at all. And yes, I've seen full hydraulic brake failuers, usually after a "tech" at Jiffy Lube topped up the master cylinder with power steering fluid.
