Handbrake broken
So I just took My Turbo in to the dealer, the handbrake has no tension and seems to be only holding on one wheel. I have to drive a Malibu........

Common issue I had the same problem...sometimes it still happens too, but its a less then 5 min fix...just wish I could come up with a permanent fix...gave it more tension and it seemed to fix it...haven't had to fool with it for a few months now
