Today I engaged the parking brake as usual and something weird happened.
I felt something give and then the hand brake handle went all the way up (way higher than normal) !!!!
I was like
So I took off the center console panel and took a look.
I noticed that the brake cable was loose. There was around 1/2" of give on it where the nut was attached to that bolt connected to the hand brake.
So I just tightened it up by turning that bolt and all seems well now.
I'm just wondering what happened.
My worst fear is that the parking brake is actually now engaged when I'm driving but I guess I would know if it was because it should make noise (I assume).
