There was a recall on the parking brake missing? No, looking at the recall it had to do with it confusing people who weren't sure if they were putting it in park. Which makes senses because people are becoming dumber by the day. 9 hours ago, LaBamba said: You really put your e brake on every time you leave your car? Putting your transmission in Park is what most people do. Unless of course it's a manual transmission. When it's on an incline? Yes. That was your parking brake stops you and not your transmission. Using your transmission to stop you on an incline is hard on the transmission and will wear it out quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By parking brake you meant the lever or pedal in your car connected to a cable that runs a mechanical brake conpletely separate from your closed loop disc brakes that locks your real driver wheel right? Cause I call that an e-brake and I never use mine unless I'm loading/unloading a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably thought he put it in park. The shifter moves back to center after shifting into any gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
