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.
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.
