E-brake has been acting up for awhile. Dealership quoted me $435 to replace entire assembly and I declined. Anyone else have similar problems? Any advice on what to do next? I would like to get the e-brake working again.

 

Yea, I know what you are talking about, I think... What exactly is wrong with your Parking Brake? I cannot park my car in my Driveway front end first, it will not hold in Neutral... But if I back in, the Parking Brake works just fine. Weird...

 

The parking brake release does not always release, it is as if sticks. The parking brake engages, it just does not always disengage. I have stopped using it for fear it will not release and then I am really stuck.

 

Just thinking out loud, if your e-brake is pushed closer and closer to the floor and your release is stressed you have e-brake wear and need to either replace the e-brake pads or adjust the e-brake. If you good a following directions and have basic mechanical skills you can accomplish both right in your driveway. You can find the information with a little searching.
