I was trying to do a lil brunout in my 08 cobalt SPORT... so i but the e brake on let off the brake and the car still does a slow roll?? thats not normal is it?? another time i was going about 25-30 and went to a cornor and pulled th E-brake nothing happens just the waring sound about the E-brake being on. should i get that looked out?? I asked my friend and he said it was cuz i got a automatic car but i dont think so.....

 

It's called a "Parking Brake" for good reason. It's not designed to stop your car in an emergency or hold the car while you are accelerating and trying to spin your tires! It's designed to hold your car on a hill and there are federal standards every vehicle must meet.

 

Well first off what you were doing is kinda dumb.

And the reason why the e-brake isnt holing is becasue you probably havent adjusted it yet; the parking brake requires a tightening every once and a while because the cables stretch out. You can do this by removing the plastic casing and tightening the 7mm nut (i think thats the size)

 

Its because you dont have enough power lol.... jk.... My e brake sucks... I always have to leave it in gear when i park

 

are you cc08?
you sound like him.

 

the dealer has fixed mine like 4 times

 

Then I would argue that your dealer hasn't fixed anything even one time.

 

The e-brake / park brake on the rear discs sucks *****, very poor design imho.

I do agree, using it for burnouts is kinda dumb - get a line lock for the rear brakes if you're serious about holding the car while spinning em up
