Anyone ever have issues with the parking/e-brake sticking? I use it every time out of habit, but the last few weeks it feels like the spring that retracts it is losing tension and not retracting it so I get the parking brake engaged light... even if the brake is disengaged.

I have that same issue, same year and color too. The dealer said they can't fix it? spent all that dough and have to use my foot to lift it...

I feel like "We can't fix it" is ********. I've looked into it a bit and the 3 main culprits are 1) The sensor gets worn out and gives weird signals, 2) The spring that retains it loosens up over time and play develops in the pedal itself. 3) The wire rope that your acting on gets stretched and do longer puts as much tension on as normal... But this is google fu... not any real diagnostics.

Where would you apply the lube?

Yes I know thats a softball for a joke.
On the wire as close to the wire sleeve as possible,
spray and operate the cable to get the lube down and up inside the cable sleeve.

I do the back sliding window about once every one to two years depending how slow it moves.
I also spray the upper and lower track that it slides in, just wipe the excess off the track.

Your brake cable is going to take some time to get it all lube up.

Do you use white lithium grease?
