awesome! thank you Joe!

 

That won't fix your issue. Bring it to the dealer and they need to adjust the parking brake shoes and the cable its self. There is a metal block the that shoes rest on and are too lose and hit causing that sound. I believe there is either a tsib out or a tech bulliten for this issue.

 

Nice! I have never had the noise issue, but I park on the street at my folks' house and it's a downhill, so I have been setting the parking brake there. The car wash guy (I know, I was lazy) set the brake yesterday. Maybe I'm just getting around it.

Anyway, thanks for the knowledge, Joe. Unlike many, I just love this car.
