Mine was like that, only you had to really press it to the floor to get any kind of bite but it eventually did. I got a general brake service done (things like removing and cleaning/lubricating all parts) and I was pleasantly surprised that they adjusted the parking brake too and it is good and tight now.
Pretty sure it's a simple procedure that could be DIY'd by a dummy but I never cared enough about it to really research it.

Do you guys set it every time? My dad got me in the habit of setting it every time when I was a kid and it stuck with me through the years. Good for the transmission and engine mounts, because it puts the pressure on the brakes, not the drive train. Brakes are much easier/cheaper to replace.

Takes strain off the Parking pawl in the transmission, and like old fashioned hand brakes, is a wire, so will need inspected and tensioned as it stretches with usage.

Parking brake is self adjusted?
