I'll tell you my parking brake doesn't engage in the slightest. Completely useless.

Yes. Read it's a common problem with them.

Damn. Snap a pic of the rear of the wheel from under the car and post it if you want. We could probably get pretty close to what's wrong by a couple pics

Where exactly are you talking about? Rear wheel?

Typically there is adjustment in the linkage.

The mechanical part works to the round circular piece with notches that triggers the brake, but it only works on the side where the cable and roundpiece with notches resides. Shouldn't it apply the pressure on both sides? It pushes the brake pad only on the one side. The other side doesn't move so it becomes cockeyed

On the rear caliper? If that's the case I would bet the slides are rusted and frozen. That caliper should " float" back and forth on those

It's fine now. My wife hit a massive pot hole by our house and it twisted the lower control arm just slightly. I replaced it and got the car aligned and haven't had an issue with tire wear since.

LMAO

I had a loaner for the entire time and I never paid a dime to them for them to waste my time.

I just wanted a discount on the tires that I had to replace because they had missed what was wrong on the previous visits.
