1. used the emergency brake normaly throughout the day. 2. on 10/21/2004 the emergency brake release button fell down inside the E-brake hand grip, had to use the end of a pen to get the E-brake to release. 3. taken to dealership, they took it apart, and put the button back up where it should be, and ordered a replacement E-brake assembly, still have old assembly, they weren't sure why it fell down and became stuck.
