Sounds like you are going to have to spend a lot of money at the stealership.

Same thing happened to mine and had to get it fixed.

wut was wrong with it??

[nerdmanpap]

yea what was wrong with it?

have you messed with your rear drum brakes at all? when i changed out my rear shoes and reset the adjustment on my rear brakes back to zero my e brake went limp but as the brakes adjusted themselves (rears are self adjusting) the e brake tightened back up

So the e-brake doesn't ratchet anymore? Like it wont stay up? Really though, those are serious questions.

naw i havent done anything to my brakes.. changed rims but that shouldnt do any thing to the brakes woke up one day with the car in the middle of the parking lot... and yeah yelloweye ... it wont stay up..lol

Mine did that before, the ratcheting lever spring broke or something like that. You can take the boot cover off and press the lever into the gear by hand but you will have to do that every time you want to use your e-brake. I took mine to the dealership and they warrantied it.
