I have a 2000 Buick Lesabre with 226k and my parking/E-brake annoys me. The brake isn’t stuck or anything, but the pedal doesn’t come back all the way, at least not enough to turn off the brake light or accompanying dinging. Most of the time, the cable is disconnected from the pedal to keep the ligh…

Suddenly getting e-mails about posts on what I thought was a long-dead topic totally confused me. Especially since I was unable to post, “Just the front cable, from the pedal to the adjuster, is all buggered up. $20 later and all is well,” when I finally figured it out.

I thought I would mention: Using the parking brake might have saved Anton Yelchin’s life, had he used it.

I agree that he might still be alive For once, I’m not going to click on the heart/like button I would rather “agree” with Whitey’s statement, versus “like” it, in this particular case There are several situations, where I like somebody’s statement, but am not an expert in the field, so “like” is…
