Original thread: The button on my emergency brake is permanently depressed
Problem: The button on my emergency brake is recessed to the point I can't use it.
Cause: The plastic grip on the e-brake handle has slid forward.
Solution: Grasp the plastic grip firmly and pull it back into its original position. Twisting back and forth may be helpful.
