Am I the only one who is annoyed that the parking brake on 2010+ Mustang's does not go down all the way?

It stops short of laying down perfectly flat and level with the center console. It sticks up over the console and pi**es me off.

Does it even happen to anyone else?

Do you guys even notice this?

 

I like that because I have a big hand and it easier to grab when I'm going to throw a 180.

 

I don't think anyone's sits perfectly horizontal. I'm annoyed with mine because I can't watch a movie on the NAV screen unless the e-brake is up! Haha

 

Locpick

 

I think it's a perfect spot to rest my cell phone.

 

I put mine in the shifter boot.

 

Exactly. Perfect for the usb cord to charge the phone from the center console. I ran the cord under the console and pops right out the side.

 

wait..u can watch movies on the factory nav system?? what files supported??

 

Says the guy who always tells us not to drive stupid.


I kid, I kid.

 

I know you're joking, but you do know I was also joking, right? lol but I am glad you're listening.

 

Wait - these cars have parking brakes... and all this time I thought it was an oh **** handle...


The parking brake handle in both my 2011 and now 2012, lay flat, but I do notice the gap between the handle and console is wider on my 2012, and since my 2012 is an Auto, the parking brake has yet to be used.

There should be some sort of adjustment somewhere to allow it to go down more, haven't dug for it on these cars, but on the older Fox body cars, there was an adjustment at the parking brake mechanism under the console, and another under the car where the cables met up.

 

Regular DVD disc with the car in Park. If moving, all you get is audio.

 

Indeed I did.

 

Thats what I was thinking also there should be an adjustment/ stop bolt under there somewhere. Inside the car under the boot.

 

^this
Lmao!

 

Open center console, remove panel inside and you will see the adjustment screw. Problem solved

 

LOL, I couldn't care any less.

 

If it was positioned lower, you would have to really bend your hand dramatically at the wrist to grab the handle.

 

That won't work, that wouldn't fix what I am complaining about.

Problem not solved.

 

You mean your car isn't powerful enough to lose traction without the aid of a brake?
