E-Brake issue
Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with the e-brake. i went to the local post office to drop off a package and parked in a lightly inclined spot, set my e-brake and turned the car off. next thing i notice is the car is moving backwards... so i hit the brakes and re adjust the e-brake, at this time the e-brake is pulled up as high as it can go and car still moves backwards.... WTF!!!!!! ive already adjusted the linkage on the e-brake twice and it still continues to do this ****!!!!!
anyone else having issues with the e-brake????

the rear pads run down fast. change them and you should be good. i did and im fine now till they wear again but just get hawk pads and they last longer.
the other part of your problem is its not a e-brake its a parking brake

yea the rear pads are extremely shitty, its the life i guess. some peoples went to **** faster tho, mine were like making fucken metal to metal contact when i changed them
oh and if you plan to change them yourself let me tell you they are a bitch dont bother buying that tool that spins the cylinder down cus it doesnt fit for **** just use some needle nose pliers and twist till it compresses all the way down....doing it yourself will save you a few hundred bucks tho
