Alright, I was on a cruise with a group of friends last weekend, and my e brake has been working fine until i pulled it on the cruise.

It went very soft, and today i jacked up the car to look at the cables and brakes and whatnot and found out the cable came disconnected from the driver's side caliper, so I reconnected it onto the little hook.

I went to test it out, and as soon as I ripped the e brake, it did it again.. any suggestions on how I fix this issue?? Driving me crazy lol!!

Thanks guys!!

make sure all the ebrake line clamps are tight on the subframe, also the ebrake mechanism could of broke in the caliper.

if the e brake mechanism is broken do i need to get a new caliper? It's weird because as long as you just pull it and don't yank it, it seems to stay attached and work as a parking brake, but that's not what this car is built for lol.
