[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 331026, member: 10234"] I haven't had a rollaway, but I have gotten out of the car and heard a noise, turned around to see my vehicle sorta lurching forward. I was parked on an incline and (with car in gear and handbrake on) it would just not hold. Had I not noticed and walked into a business, I'm sure I would have come out to a surprise. I actually had to get back in and reposition the vehicle before I could make the delivery. The handbrakes in many of these vehicles are a joke. You write them up and maybe (after being adjusted) they work for a day or two. It's usually not the mechanics fault. Just too little brake for the amount of weight it has to hold. I'm amazed at how many rollaways there seems to be nationwide. Well, maybe not considering the above case and the pressure to get done at a decent time. [/QUOTE]
