maybe you have a bionic foot and broke the cable

try to look under the car and tighten it up-- if that doesn't work they are like 20 bucks --untill the next time you drive the car with the ebrake on!!!

I suggest opening the access panel under the back seats and
observing the lever while depressing the foot pedal.

Flip up the rear seats (sometimes I think I'm the only one with
the thru-loading feature in the sedan...) and pull out the fabric liner.
There's a silver metal plate in the center. 2 bolts in the back, 1 nut
in the front.

does your dash warn you that the brake is depressed while you try to drive with it engaged? or does it not recognize the attempt at all?
