Loss Parking Brake.

A few minutes ago while parking in the my gyms parking lot, I went to put up my parking brake and the lever doesn't stay up. when I got into the car to the gym it was just fine. I was taking the car in for an oil change and to address another issue tomorrow coincidentally.

What do you think happened.?

I'll get it checked out tomorrow.

I found another thread on here with the same exact thing happening and he had to get a new lever.

Took it in today and they had to replace the lever assembly and adjusted the rear brakes. Only sat there for under 3 hours and it works now.
