Emergency brake
My emergency brake handle on my PT sometimes pulls
back all the way. If I then push it forward and then pull it back again it engages normally. This does not happen all the time but happens often enough to be annoying. Also, if it did this in an emergency, it would, well, suck. I have taken it into the dealer twice and they claim they can't duplicate the problem. The last time they said this it did it for me as soon as I got home. Has anyone else had this problem?  |

That is what happened to me too. Took it to the dealer and they could not duplicate the problem. Although they had my PT for the day. Funny thing is it has yet to happen again after that. I thing they are secretly fixing them as not to have a recall.

This only seems to happen to
me when you really yank it hard. Try pressing the button fully and pulling it up smoothly. (If you yanked it during an emergency you'd lock 'em up and possibly spin. Be smooth and deliberate.) |

I guess its like driving styles. Everyone does it different. Just like everyone chooses different upgrades for their Pt. Love all then different looks though.

I also have had the same happen too me! However I agree with Mr T. it only happens when I've yanked the the thing pretty hard. I agree it 's annoying ... the brake is working as it's supposed too otherwise ,and therefore have never mentioned to dealer.

Emergency brake
Quote:
Yeah, the brake does seem to work but it should work without the handle pulling back. It didn't do that when it was new. I too will give up on it for awhile. I've taken my car in there two Fridays in a row and the whole process is losing its luster. Granted, I rented a car and didn't have to wait around while they worked on it but it's the pricipal, right? |
