As I was changing the rear brake rotors I found that the pads on the E-brake shoes where not attached. The are now glued on and had failed. Dealer excuse was rust. This should not be happening with your E-brakes. I would not have know they had come loose if I was not changing my brake pads/rotors. I had to pay for replacement for an item that should not have failed unexpectedly.

Upon entering my vehicle, I noticed a computer module had fallen out of the drivers side dash and was resting on the accelerator pedal. Upon further examination, it appears this module was held in place by two sided tape which failed to secure the unit. The wires attached to the unit were long enough to block access to both the accelerator and brake pedal. Therefore, it is my concern that had this unit fallen out while the vehicle was in motion, access to the brake and/or accelerator pedals could have been impeded and an accident causing serious injury or fatalities could have occurred.
