ugh.....its under warranty, but still, this sucks ass.


i had to drive my dad's car to go run an errand for him, got back, put the car in park, and with my right foot still on the brake, started to press with my left foot on the parking brake, and SNAP it like broke something, and my foot went straight to the floor. pulled the lever, and it won't come back up[:@][:@][:@]


so now its immobile, and my dad's gonna be driving my stang for a while until he gets it fixed/gets a loaner from MB.


its a 2008 Mercedes CLS550 with AMG package, btw.



btw, i'm thinking of posting another girl thread, but if people are going to be annoyed by it, i won't post it. let me know what you think in this existing thread.

that sucks, i never cared for benzes though

girl----all women are whores and should be treated that way nuff said[8D][sm=alcoholic.gif]

Wow, that's retarded that it just broke like that.

You sure you can't figure the girl thing out on your own? I say don't post anything unless you're going to include some pics.

Post the girl thread, people who complain just can't think of anything to say, help wise. [&:]

And for the car, that sucks but that's life. [>:]

I'm pretty sure people can think of plenty to say. It's just the saying it for the billionth time that gets old.

I honestly don't mind girl threads because I'm in the same boat as him probably.

Damn Hercules. Lighten up on the old mans ride.

At least it's under warranty.

I want to hear the girl thread.

and that sucks about the car, hopefully nothing too serious.

We like to hear of fails on this forum.

You pushed the parking brake and something snapped ? Did the cable snap and breaks are jsut stuck on ?

i guess. the pedal is all the way to the floor. won't come back up by pulling the release lever. and the parking brake is stuck on.

why the hell would they make a parking brake pedal? what's wrong with the traditional lever that you pull up?

Trucks have been using them for a long time...

My ford explorer had a foot emergency brake...


It is about design and size. In a car, there is not enough room in the drivers well to fit all the pedals AND a emergency brake.

lol, I guess you would die of a heart attack if you saw the parking brake on my lincoln... it's just abutton you push on the center counsel.... when you push the button you can hear the brake engage by itself.. it's pretty nifty

Why were you using the parking brake in an automatic? I have a manual and I rarely use it even then.

because, the driveway is a slope, and its smart to use it. i hate when people swear you don't need it, and tell you you shouldn't use it.


you, well, your dumb for not using it with a manual. either your car is going to roll away, or your putting unnecessary stress on your tranny.

i thought that this was a thread about the mustang being broken...:D

You don't need to use the parking brake if you have an auto. It's called park for a reason.

it is better for the transmission to have something supporting the weight of the car, especially on a steep grade. have you never parked an auto car with the e brake off, and had a hard time getting it out of park? there is a reason that many vehicles call it the parking brake...;)

haha I dont even have a parking brake in my fox. Extra weight and the fact I have yet to figure out how to work it with the turbocoupe disc. My one friend always swore by using the parking brake on her car with auto which I told her dont use it because it was an older car and has not been driven in a while. Well she did not want to listen to me and sure as crap the cables froze up and the brakes got so hot it caught the car on fire and total loss. So their is a reason behind my madness.

In other words did you try pulling the lever and lift up on the pedal with hand?

lawl aren't you a funny one:)


so ace, your saying that if i use the parking brake, my car will catch on fire and explode? thats faulty equipment buddy, give me a break (no pun intended). you know what its there for. its on the car for a reason. why don't people get this? its to hold the car in place. ever notice on a steep grade, you put it in park take your foot off the brake, and the car rolls back and forth a little? i'm sure thats GREAT for the tranny.
yes, i tried both of those. my dad's getting it fixed today i think.

ACE is saying not to use it if you haven't used it for awhile cause they tend to hang up.And leave it to a girl to not realize the brakes are hanging up.
