Love my new matrix XRS, anyone else here have a half-ass e-break. Mine doesn't ever

fully engadge on steep hills. Just mine or is it a mechanical flaw with the model?

Mine works great, and never heard of this problem. The dealer can adjust yours very easily.

Have had no problems on 2006 XR automatic. Mom lives on a hill, so I use it regularly when I visit.

i know exactly what you mean mine is a 2005 matrix xrs with 30000, and i have to pull it up all the way everytime, i even go to the dealership everyonce in a while to get it adjusted and it still loosens up, and i only use it to park, not for other reasons like some people lol

My XRS is not even 2 months old and I have noticed that the E-Brake isn't all that powerful...so from what I have read this is a common thing...for me to get this adjusted would it fall under the new car warranty?
