my E brake sticks so i just dont use it. when we were at OSU the other day we parked on a hill that was steep enough it rolled in gear so i pulled the E brake. when we left i manually released each caliper but the drivers side was still a little sticky. we drove and it got hot so i messed with it some more and it released. the passenger side seemed to be fine (other than leaking which its done for 2,000 miles) and we drove up to Minneapolis.
while driving today you could clearly hear brake dragging noise and when we pulled into a parking lot to see a museum we found the passenger brake pads were totally gone. i can get pads at the auto parts stores but no one can find the calipers! if we put pads on we can drive the car but its likely going to keep chewing up pads because the caliper is sticky.
Napa thinks they can order my calipers and have them here in 4 days but who knows if thats true or not.

I stopped using parking breaks back when we had our Subaru for just the same reason. I still rarely use the parking break. Old habits die hard.
