I have been having trouble with my parking brake not holding the vehicle on a steep hill.
I've had the cables replaced because we thought they might be stretched. Since the Ford Dealership replaced the cables on Wednesday, the parking brake pedal has been hard to push. Normally it was easy to push until it got halfway down.
Today I had new rear rotors, brake pads, and a parking brake kit installed with new shoes at a different shop. I watched the technician adjust them and they still don't hold the vehicle on the driveway regardless of whether it is nose up or down. (They verified that the shoes were moving visually with the rotors off the rear.)
The only thing left to replace is the pedal mechanism itself.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on?
Thanks,
