Put your parking brake on all the time? And let your fuel pump run for a sec before starting it?

 

Yes for the brake and no for the fuel pump.

 

No and Yes hahha

 

No, and I would let the fuel pump go, but the car takes care of that for my by itself. When I get in and turn the key immediately to start, it takes like a second before it starts turning over. But, if it turn to on, then start, no delay.

 

Yes and yes. It's a habit I have from driving a diesel.

Yes on the parking brake, I think that is how the parking brake gets adjusted. If you don't use the parking brake all the time, it will get out of adjustment.

Fuel pump? I just get in and start the car and it starts just fine. If you were to let the car sit for a few days or longer, you might have to wait for the fuel pressure to build up before trying to start the engine.

anyone notice when parking on a hill and applying the parking brake, u get about a 6in-ft of rolling. i almost feel like my parking brake isnt engaging enough. also, when i leave the brake on, i feel like it easily will move when i put her in drive/reverse.

mental note, get this checked out at the next dealer appt.

 

I have notice that there is somthing wrong with the parking brake. Somtimes feels like there is a flat spot in the cable. Other times it grabs really hard. I also think that is where my grinding sound is coming from or a bad wheel bearing.

 

Fuel pump = no, but i do use the parking brake regularly. I've noticed the same thing you guys are talking about, when i set the parking brake it will roll about 6 inches before it grabs. I push it down as far as that sucker will go. Once it is set it holds good though. Might think about getting the dealer to look at it.

 

I have remote start, so Mopar takes care of it for me. I just click the button on the keychain

There is a delay of about three seconds, though, while *something* audible besides an engine start is going on under the hood.

I have never used a parking brake on any car unless I park on a hill.
