Hasn't happened to me yet, but I suggest you tighten the adjusting nut on the cable.

Rudy, check your pads on the rear brake. If they are ok, use 2 12mm open end wrenches to release the jam nuts on the parking brake cable. Move the aft nut aft, then tighten the forward nut to adjust the cable. Test. If the parking brake motor is shot, you can see the arm on the caliper move, then loosen. Bad motor.
Check pads, adjust cable, watch for inoperable motor. Call if you need help. Joe

I know of three of us on this forum who have had parking brake motors replaced under warranty including me at about 9K miles.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.
