My D's parking brake has never really worked (since I've had the car - about 2 1/2 years). I had it adjusted while it was in DMC Garden Grove's shop but still not good. I can pull the handle all the way up to stop, and it feels like it's tightening, but I can then also drive around all day with it in that position and roll backwards at stoplights on an incline or see it roll across the sloped parking lot if I didn't leave it in gear. In general, I just don't use it at all. The brakes, in general work perfectly. No complaints at all, there. I haven't pulled the rear wheels off to actually look at the parking brake pads, but Don and Danny had them off, replacing the wheel bearings a while back and didn't say anything about the pad being bad, etc. I trust those guys to let me know if something is obviously amiss. So I guess my question is: has anyone else had problems like this and is there anything specific I should look for when I climb under to check out the cables, mechanisms, pads, etc.?
