Hey guys,
I was wondering if I'm the only one with this issue...
It looks like the parking brake is somewhat weak. I feel I need to give it a good pull in order for it to hold the car in place. The car will roll even when it's parked on a fairly flat surface.
Also because it's so weak, I've almost drove away twice already with the hand brake pulled because there was almost no resistance...
Should I be pulling harder on it? Has anyone else noticed this with his/her car (6MT)?
(I've only had her for 6 days).

 

No problems here.

Yea i have to pratically pull it all the way up.
It sucks, every other car you just have to do 2-clicks and its tight, not mine.

 

Finally someone who has the same problem as i do
i told the service guy when i had my first oil change. apparently it is supposed to hold the car after 7 clicks. he tried it a coupla of times and he asiad u have to pull it up a couple of times for it to work. he basically said since it is a new car it will take a while........hasnt worked well yet.
having my 2nd service next week and will have them check it again.
i guess i will have to check the service manual cd to see what exactly they will be doing

I had the same problem. I went and complained and they fixed it sorta. IMO its still weak but they gave me a lame excuse saying if they make it any tighter it will burn rubber. I was thinking in my head WTF you talking about? To tighten your ebreak, all you have to do is screw a nut down more. Thats how i did it with my old honda. ANyhow, i will address my ebrake problem once more on monday because i will submit all the problems i havw with this car and hopefully get it fixed.

 

Have your local Infiniti service dept. adjust it.

Just have them adjust it. It's an easy fix. I did this to my Z awhile back ago so it will lock up after 4 clicks.

- Don't argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.=P-

 

Thanks guys,
Yeah I guess I WILL have them adjust that. Sometime I just stop the car for few seconds to grab something from the trunk, leave it neutral and hand braked, and find myself rolling even before I got to exit the car.

 

I have the same problem I took it back to the dealer and had it adjusted now it works just fine.

i remember a thread awhile back, about 10 months ago of somebody who went to the dealership and got it adjusted under warranty. Good luck

Hey guys,

I too have the same issue. I just keep my car in gear when I park, along with pulling the parking brake. I also have a Hyundai Accent (go ahead and laugh - college car), and before my girlfriend ruined it - by driving 2 miles with the parking brake engaged - it only took about 2 clicks to hold it tight. So I don't know....

If anyone takes it to the dealership to get adjusted, let the group know the outcome. I have gone to dealer so many times about little bullsh_t things, that I don't want to deal with yet another little one ya know. Cool...

I too have the problem. I just thought it was the Brembo's? Is this same problem happening to those with Automatics?
