EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
i have an '07 now in its 11 month of ownership. its not driven everyday, has about 8000 miles on. love it. this is no biggie -- but today the emrgency break pulllever pulled off and wont go back in. clearly broken. anyone have similar problem? it doesnt see to be attached by a cable, and i;m not sure how its attached. it is cheap plastic though. anyway, anyone have any ideas other than going to the dealer to have it replaced. TIA  |

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
Best bet would be the dealer. It would be covered under warranty and you don't want to jimmy rig your e brake lever.

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
My wife broke mine the first time she drove it.
I'm not sure how it attaches, but she put it back on and it hasn't come off again. BTW: its a manual, so it gets used every time its driven.

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
its happened to me several times cause i pull it out pretty hard. Its a simple fix onthis one, it just pops right back into place! Just put it in the position where it belongs and press it in.

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
Mine did the same thing at about 10,000 miles but mine broke the end of the cable and the cable and the handle had to be replaced.

 It has happened to me many times. The first time it had happened I took it to the dealer and they replaced it .. it was a loose fit. It still comes off every so often, but it snaps right back on. |

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
you guys all have manual right? i have auto, and i didnt even notice if i have a hand break. Maybe it has a foot break..
Anyway, this just sounds extremly cheap if it breaks so much.
My eclipse has never broken, and i use it everyday. And im not gental with it either, i just bicept curl the hell out of it.

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
MR DENSE-HEAD HERE...
My 06 LUX AUTO has a foot e-brake and a hand release...
are there hand e-brakes on manual tranny models 06/07/08 (not the release)
or what... ?

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
Yep. I pulled mine off too. But it snaps right back on. Just don't ..........
Arnold Schwarenegger it. If you pull easy it shouldn't come off.
HUMMER uses snap in snap out devices all thru the vehicle practically everywhere.

I agree... I don't know how many times I reach down for the hand brake, it is nice when you are on a big incline and need an slow release on the brake insted of the full off when you release the brake on the 3! |

Re: EMERGENCY BREAK PULL BREAKS
ahhhhh yea..... the brake.... on the H3. 
It would be nice to have a hand brake on the 3 with the manual transmission. At least GM had the forethought to cram all three pedals close enough together that you can press 'em all with one foot....... that is why they are so close together right?
