Honda Accord parking brake

[CalvinHobbes]

My 98 accord has the parking brake on the center console, you pull it up to engage it.

I went to put the parking brake on and when I yanked the handle up I heard a pop and now the parking brake won't engage.

I'm not sure if the problem is in the console or the end of the cable.

Anyone ever have this happen.

Yep - the cable snapped.

Yup.. same thing happened to my civic.
Just make sure that you put your car on 1st gear wherever you park it.

Then really why the complaint if you own a automatic?

It's not safe to park an automatic on an incline without the parking brake. Fine on level ground, though.
