| Description of the problem | My car is a 2017 sonata se 2. 4l just shy of 21k miles. I use the parking brake all the time and yesterday when i got home and depressed the parking brake pedal it went all the way to the floor - no more working parking brake! On the floor i found a small locknut and a washer that fell off the threaded end of the cable at the parking brake pedal. I repaired it myself by adding a second regular m6 nut (10mm wrench) and locked the two nuts together. Adding the second nut and locking them together should permanently fix the issue. |
