Has anyone had to take their ride back to the dealer for a loose e-brake handle or know how difficult it is to "tighten" it back up?

Since new I've had a little play with the e-brake but very rarely would it cause the brake light and beeping noise to come on. However, this morning it went off several times while driving normal to work because the handle has WAY too much play in it now (happened while taking off from a stop and if I hit certain bumps). I guess I'll be making another trip to the dealer tomorrow...

 

Mine loose but i've never had the light just come on by itself because of it.

 

My e-brake is very loose and there's a lot of "play" in it.

Took it to the dealer and asked about it... they said it's normal for the e-brake to have a little "play."

 

It all depends on how har you pull on it when you set it. Cause it strecths the cable lol. Common since just dont pull up hard on it lol!!!!

 

I yank the parking brake pretty hard everytime I park. No problems with it being overly loose or anything...

 

^^x2 I crank the ___ out of it on San Francisco hills... no problems at all.

 

no need to yank it too hard. even on hills, just throw it in 1st (highest compression gear).

 

Unless you have an automatic.
