    New technology...

    I know what you're thinking though. My 79 Lincoln releases in R, D, 2, and 1. Some engineer (and I'm gunna be one of these someday mind you) decided you should be backing into your parking spot, and pulling out, not vise versa...

    My parking brake does not hold the car. : ( on the fix list now. Canadian auto plants must be gettin hammered harder than the U.S. plants. Never heard of a parking brake not workin on any car before... pathetic! It's almost as lame as no active supension or wheel locks. It's just plain embarrasing.

Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    What you are experiencing is the normal and proper operation of the auto-release..."they all do that"...

    Nextstar7.....you are exactly right. It does not make much sense.
    Other LM products I have owned.....released the parking brake in forward or reverse. This one doesn't. Go figure. Cost reduction ?

    LML......Dang you are right again.......it is a Chrysler.....lol
