I always engage my emergency brake when parked. I was getting ready to go out and pulled the emergency brake lever to disengage it, but the brake stayed all the way down by the left foot rest! I can't disengage the brake now... it will not spring back! Anything I can do besides having it towed to the dealership?

i hope i'm not sound too...

did you try to pull "BRAKE" puller? i dont know how else to call it.. its on the left side by your steering wheel.. when i didnt know long time ago and i start panic too, apparantly it was "very" easy fix

It doesn't do anything. It pulls back, but does nothing.

if thats the case then you might want to contact your local dealer..

I put the car in reverse and it rolled an inch or two before the emergecy brakes stoped it. I put the car in N, and the emergency brake disengaged. Can't duplicate the problem now.

At least I can drive it now.

You may still want to have it looked at because it may not be such a simple fix next time.....

Unless you are parked on a steep incline/decline....you need NOT step on the parking brakes to its fullest extent.

I personally always use it ....but on level surfaces....I press it 1/4 to 1/2 down.
