[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 546973, member: 52914"] If one side of the parking brake is caught in the 'on' position, you may never know it. The parking brake in the ST isn't very strong to begin with, and if some debris found a way between the brake cable and the protective sheathing, or rust has developed somewhere, the the brakes may be in the on position, but not actually clamped onto the rotor. The parking brake isn't an "on or off" deal, it's a progressive thing, the more you throw the pedal, the tighter the grip onto the rotor. So you may not ever hear, smell, or sense anything is wrong.
