9-3 parking brake...sucks! Normal? Posted by turrbo [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I just got the 2001 9-3 'vert that I had posted about a few weeks ago. Love the car! I spent today detailing the inside (it was disgusting) and next weekend will be dedicated to detailing the exterior.
Anyway, I noticed that the parking brake is terrible! The car is a 5-speed, and I cannot get it to hold on my driveway, which is a moderate hill. If I pull the brake up allll the way, the car will sort of lurch up to one side in the rear and stay, but I am not very confident in leaving it parked like that.
I've never had a 5-speed before, but the brake in my 9000 holds very tightly on the same hill.
Is there an adjustment for this, or is it normal? Can't see how I'd ever be able to park it on a hill as is...
Thanks!
