my ebrake gave out completely on my 1st 95 neon, i just went to a junk yard and ripped one off a neon, swapped it out, and she worked fine, but it sounds like you have a differnt situation...

You may need to tighten the cable on your E-Brake..... Over time they stretch out and lose their effectiveness. I believe there are two places on cars you go to tighten these. One is in the center console and the other is usually on the rear axle near the middle.

I have not looked at mine, but I believe there is a tightener on the cable under the car. If that does not work, you may need new cables as they are stretched too far.
