On Gen 6, does any else's parking brake handle move side to side when the parking brake is disengaged?

I'm wondering if something came loose or broke under there.

The parking brake still works fine though.

I just checked mine, and it doesn't move. So you might wanna get yours checked out at the dealer.

You are talking about the handle next to the shifter, not the pedal one right?

I'm just asking because I noticed you have the V6 and I think those have pedal type parking brakes.

Oh, no mine is auto. So i have the padal. I didn't know you had a manual tr.

My handle does move around a bit too. It's so little tho I never noticed it until you mentioned it.

All is good now. The bracket that holds the handle somehow came loose. There are two 12mm bolts that hold it down. A socket wrench can be used for the top one, but the side one must be tightened using a wrench - a ratcheting wrench is very handy here.

Also adjusted the parking brake handle travel while I was in there.
