Mazda3 2009: parking brake often inadequate by itself to keep car from rolling backwards on slight incline. this has occurred twice with my car and once more with a relative who owns the same make, model, and year of this car. *tr
Car is a 2009 mazda speed3, one month old. i set the brake of the car and it only went up 2 clicks. the car rolled down the driveway with nobody in the car and hit a tree. emergency brake hard to pull up to set properly. i did a test on a steep slope, and the ebrake did not hold. a hard yank with two hands made the brake hold, and now the brake will go up 5 clicks with ease and holds. *tr
