    Luckily I had just made it into the driveway before they completely failed so I was able to put it into park. But yeah, the parking brake is cable operated luckily! I had a new brake line brought to me and I replaced it in the driveway and brought the brakes back to life.

    Here’s a picture of what it looked like before I replaced it Said twisted brake hose before removal

      luckily!

      No luck in it, it’s part of the car design rules, even modern electronic automatic parking brakes are cable operated

        I meant that it was a manual brake, not electronically actuated. My bad on that part

        I’m not sure if electronic parking brakes can be set to different strengths like a manual one can or even activated while you’re moving (in case of an emergency)
