Description of the problem	I have an sxt version of this minivan. While replacing the disc pads i found that the parking brake cable on the rear driver side is worn almost in two. I checked several of my neighbors vehicles and found only the sxt versions with the rear sway bar seem to be affected. The se version did not have a rear sway bar. The parking brake cable is routed between the fuel tank and the sway bar and it rubs on the sway bar with any movement of the vehicle. This will cause two problems; 1) the parking brake will fail or only be applied to one side. If the vehicle is raised on the passenger side and the parking brake has failed and the wheels are not blocked, the vehicle could roll off of the jack. 2) the severed part of the parking brake cable could damage the wheel brake line and cause it to rupture resulting in total loss of all brakes.
