Seems that I have bought a lemon.

So this morning I went to release my parking brake and the button on the end of it actually popped out and exposed the spring that holds it down. When I pull up on the brake it does not click anymore, I can push a button inside the brake under the leven to try and lock it down which worked but the whole system isnt working like it should. Any ideas?

That does not make the car a lemon. Consistent problems of the same thing,etc make it a lemon.

Its not GM's fault and so on. Its called "**** happens"

As for it not clicking,thats because the locking mechanism isn't working. Its a tooth I assume around a gear. The spring applies pressure to the tooth locking it down on the gear making it "click" and lock in place.

Take it apart and see whats broke. You may have broken the cable,but I dunno

Does the brake itself actually enagage and disengage?

I have now removed the center console and when I push a small pin down next to the teeth I can get the brake to engage and work correctly if I pull it up or down BUT once I lower it down all the way, the button pops out and the teeth do not click anymore. Any ideas?

It makes the parking brake not even grab the teeth. I can push this small lever down to make it engage but once I take the brake off, it makes no contact with the teeth and pulls up freely. GRRR I want my center console back on!
