Except when the cable snaps, It’s an expensive pain in the ass to replace.
I just did this on my 2011 Miata. It has about 50k miles on it. Driven in Wisconsin, and while I’ve mostly kept it off winter roads, it’s inevitably going to have more corrosion than an equivalent car kept in a warmer/dryer climate.
$600 for the repair. Given how long it lasted, I don’t consider that too crazy.
Unless you don’t HAVE 600 dollars.
That’s more a statement against car ownership in general. Repairs are going to happen. Making the e-brake into a switch that activates solenoids by way of a CAN bus to microcontrollers doesn’t change that. If anything, it’s likely even more expensive.
I have never had one fail. Never even heard of one snapping.
The one on my stepvan doesn’t pull quite hard enough on its own, but it works.
And …it’s a cable? Like seven cents a foot?
It does happen. Guess how I know…
