Ron Walker Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I had a problem with my '89 when I noticed that the e-brake cable was hanging low and no e-brake function. I took the car to my dealer/mechanic who "released the e-brake and sprayed with penetrant." The mechanics notes on my invoice states "brake will probably hang up if e-brake is used again." That was in 2015. Since taking ownership of my Reatta in 1996, I probably didn't use the e-brake more than as many times as I can count on one hand. And again, since the above admonition, I haven't used the emergency brake again. I'm guilty of not regularly using an emergency brake on any of my automatic transmission cars. I know that by not doing so, the above scenario is common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbo Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 You do have to pump it a couple times. I actually didn't know this when I first got my reatta and assumed it wasn't working. Then I stumbled across it in the owner's manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
