My I35 has fairly new brakes all around but when I set the parking brake on an incline the car rolls. I figure it just needs to be adjusted. Is there an adjustment anywhere? The I35 parking brake is a pedal & not a pull handle like the 5th Gen Maxima.

Have you tried setting/pumping it really hard several times?
(That's what you to on the Maxima, you just pull the handle hard, two or three times).

If the actual brake mechanism on the rear is like the 5th Gen, check for rear calipers which may be seized. If it is, your rear brakes are hardly working, and the parking brakes likewise are not really engaging. I changed my calipers out, and parking brake worked much better.

The rear pads, rotors & calipers are all less than 5 months old. They were installed earlier this year. The previous calipers were rotted really badly.

Hmm, I have not tried that although I've set the brake quite a few times which I would think would be the same thing. Is there no manual adjustment for these parking brakes?

maxima uses a hand brake and i'm pretty sure you can tighten the cable if you take the boot off.

look at the cable on the pedal if there's no nut just a barrel then probably not.

ya there is.

Thanks Donkeypunch, I'll take a look at it one day this week.
