Scotty Kilmer I am not sure if you have thought about the controls scheme, however it can make a difference on how the parking brake operates during a failure, like if the software/wiring fail “open” or “closed” as far as the actual electronic relays states land. I’ve written software in the Industrial world and there are certain components you want to act during a failure which is decided on the level of life safety involved. But I agree with the preference of feeling the actual tension in the Brake as well as an actual shifter in vehicles with 4wd.

Scotty, what's better, Throttle by wire or Throttle by Cable?
Thanks and love your videos!
This mod makes all my fords sound like tractors. Talks more on egr sneaks hmm
yeah totally agree with scotty on the electric e-brake. ranks right up there with no dip stick on the transmission
Or no oil dipstick
I don't agree with him on everything but I am happy that he said this.
My wife had a chevy cobalt that's she had before we met when I tried to check all the fluid and it was time to check tranny fluid looked everywhere then looked it up no dip stick????🤯🤯🤯
James Susanka - my car doesn’t have a dipstick for engine oil either 😲
Yup really stupid move
It must be really weird being an engineer at a car company. Imagine having a meeting/project, "Let's explore what we can f up that has worked for a century?"
laserleftfoot ttt We can mess it up and make tons of money while we are doing it.
More like how can we possibly improve the car but lets not test it
@behexen250 The "duralast" turn signal crapped out 9 days after the 1 year warranty expired. The Mazda OEM switches had lasted 13 and 22 years. AMAZING!!! Maybe the "last" in "duralast" means "last place"?
@behexen250 not a assumption because there is stuff that needs to be tested before release and with alot of things in life people dont care to go through testing for flaws and let it be the consumers flaw not just with cars even with codes and programs but ya some times your situation also happens
At every company I've ever worked at you always have some halfwit calling the shots telling engineers they're wrong. I cant figure out how that happens, but it always does. Someone always decides, "Oh, you're obviously an imbecile, let's make you an executive."
Don’t “fix” it if it ain’t broke.
The elimination of dip sticks is also an idiotic trend.
I feel like car design is going backwards, sort of like our universities.
No dipstick. Good god i see my dipstick every day or two
Seems to be a trend overall.
Throw away society. Continuous demeaning value, sustainability and quality for sake of convenience.
What people are getting instead is convenience is lack of trust and general piece of mind based on proven consistency evaporating into thin air.
Spencerianism Are you familiar with a book called “Industrial Society And Its Future”?
Dave Dave my last 2 BMWs have not had dipsticks since 2007. The car tells you when you need a litre. I personally like that feature. I don’t have to spend my free time checking oil.
christian lail your car burns that much oil?
I agree with Scotty about the emergency brake. It’s dangerous.
electric brakes have been used on heavy trailers for so long, i don't think it's a big concern. ...so what about steering by wire, electric gas, and brake pedals. people always complain when something is new. The fact of the matter is that cars today are so much better than cars made even 20 years ago that you would need to pay someone to keep car that's 100% 1999 technology as their only car.
It's just cheaper to manufacture!
@@littlegoobie whatever happened to air brakes and the caged-spring brake that applied when air pressure was lost?
the E in E-brake no longer stands for emergency, it now stands for electric. These are sad times..
So what if your regular brakes fail and you need to use the emergency brake to stop?
@@melinuxf00l You're screwed. That or you somehow end up with a brand new car that still has a manual handbrake.
@@melinuxf00l only 2 ways that your brakes would fail could be either (1) one of your hydraulic brake lines rotted and failed under pressure, that you have to worry about in the Northern States and Canada and or if you live by salt water (by the ocean) (2) Somebody cut (intentionally) your hydraulic brake lines. I constantly check brake lines seems only ones that out live the vehicle are made out of stainless steel or that nickel/copper tubing.
@@edyacheraii4279 Yeah, I live on the coast of Maine. I have had brake lines fail on me twice so far in my lifetime due to corrosion. The first time it happened was less than 200 miles after an annual safety inspection. That mechanic never got my business again, and that shop has been out of business for years. The second time was in a relative's car.
In both cases, I was darn glad that I could pull on that handbrake lever and use it to control the rear brakes and bring the car safely to a halt. Car companies can take their over-engineered solutions to problems that don't exist and stick them where the sun doesn't shine.
@@melinuxf00l I hear ya there, I’m a professional mechanic in Pa if I see steel hydraulic brake lines that even look like they’re going to fail I won’t pass the vehicle for the annual safety inspection. The correct way to fix the hydraulic lines is to replace the line point to point unfortunately if other hydraulic steel lines are just as bad you end up replacing all of them. That’s the worst thing the vehicle manufacturers put in was that electric e-brake if a line fails now it’s going to have to get towed or fix it where it sits. I’ve picked up vehicles without that electric e-brake (as long it wasn’t that pump to set foot cable brake) to replace the steel lines with 9-10 the nickel/copper hydraulic line (it’s DOT approved) or if I’m doing a muscle car prefabricated stainless steel hydraulic brake lines (ordered from summit racing)
I hope they discontinue that electric e-brake because that is a safety hazard for 2 reasons (1) if your hydraulic brake line fails (2) if your vehicle shuts off with an electric failure 😕
They need a parking brake that needs a wifi connection and requires a monthly subscription to work.
Don't give them any ideas lol.
Smart doggy
Juicero: parkingbrakero, requires wifi to work lmfao.
I just hate paid monthly subscriptions.
BMW would do that, Apparently a few months ago their servers went down meaning BMW's version of OnStar went down. The difference is in a BMW you have to have their subscription service to even use things like Apple Carplay and other advanced infotainment system features. Servers down meant it apparently became a dumb radio.
Small child: *exists*
Autonomous car: let’s drive over there!
Back in the seventies while I was in my early twenties and driving on the busy city streets of Cleveland Ohio I had an unexpected major brake failure whilst making a turn at the crossing of two busy intersections. I was also driving a vehicle with a stick shift transmission. I was about to turn onto the entrance ramp to the freeway to go home and had to make a quick decision on what action to take.
I only had use of my manually hand operated hand brake to stop or slow my car which worked quite well. I only had to train my mind to use my right hand to stop or slow the car instead of instinctively using my right foot to stop the car. I also had to learn how much pull to use to get the desired results. I didn't want to come to a screeching halt when all I wanted to do was slow down a bit.
I quickly thought it through and decided it would be safer for me to get on the interstate where I would be using my brakes less than if I took the side streets home where I would be doing a lot more stop and go.
Turns out I was right. I only had two exits to go and drove at a speed that would cause me to have less need to use my brakes and I also kept my distance from the vehicles in front of me to also get the same results.
I would never have been able to do that with the new "emergency" brake systems they are using now.
When I got home I took a look to see what the problem was. If I remember correctly what had happened was the master cylinder had failed and I lost all braking on all four wheels. Brake fluid leaking all over the place. Back in those days you could easily fix your own cars. Not so today with all the electronics and computer controlled systems. You need to buy all this expensive equipment and then learn how to use it. No easy task. Back in the old days you just bought a wrench and there wasn't much training needed to understand how to use it.
In the 1970s, I was driving my Chevy van down a lumber road in the Sierras, down a steep incline. This was an older van with a single-unit master cylinder. I suddenly lost hydraulic pressure and had to use the emergency brake---instead of going into a steep ravine and getting killed or maimed.
@@bboucharde Quick thinking on your part.
You've got me afraid to buy a vehicle that's not 20 years old.
I'm not afraid, but I would much prefer to have a 30 year old totally restored vehicle and it's cheaper on personal property tax and they are far more reliable
Why I’m buying a 2000 Toyota 4Runner limited
But a Nissan Frontier. 😆
@@reidheine8838 Actually I said prefer, I actually own 2 1986 4x4 Chevy's one with 500,xxx miles plus on it, and one with 58K I plan to keep driving and fixing these the rest of my life.
@@reidheine8838 I own a 2000 SR5, those cars are tanks
The first time I saw one I was like "Damn, are we really so lazy that we can't even pull a lever now"
We didn't ask for it so why are we the lazy ones???
My car is 10 years old, has this electronic brake and had no issues so far.
I don't like them at all the brake has to either be all the way on or all the way off. If you did actually lose hydraulic pressure and were attempting to stop using the E brake you would NOT want to suddenly apply it you would want to apply gradual pressure which at least with the ones I've used you can't do if its electronic. Also if for some reason you wanted to use it and didn't have any power you couldn't.
Garrett Smith You are right that it’s “on” or “off”. Had a friend of mine actually try engaging it while driving. It did-with FULL FORCE. That’s dangerous.
95% of people don't use the parking brake anyway

These manufacturers have completley lost any sense of the *KISS* method.
gadgets sell cars (to those who neither fix them when they break or even know how they work) . Also seems like many drivers just lease their car so they never have possession of it when the warranty runs out. Somebody else (like me) gets to fix their worn out junk.
Kiss "keep it simple stupid" I couldn't agree more with you on that one
You’re kidding, right?
On an old car... you needed to change the oil every 3000 miles, grease the suspension and drive shaft at the same time, remove, clean, and repack wheel bearings every year, do a coolant change and rad flush every two years, tune up including new plugs (that had to be gapped), new HT leads, cap and rotor, points and condenser every 10,000 miles, rebuild the carb every 20,000 miles. Adjust the valve lash every 10,000 miles and re and re the heads to do a valve job at 50,000 miles. And at 100,000 miles... most likely it was ready for the junkyard.
Today’s cars don’t need anything except fluids and filters, tires and brakes, maybe a battery for the _first_ 100,000 miles.... and after that it still runs better than anything made before 1990 out of the showroom. Get a light after 10 years and 200,000 miles? Get your $20 OBD code reader and clear it or replace the offending O2 sensor for $100 and two beer worth of work _AFTER_ you drive it home or even months after rather than on the side of the road or after it was towed.
Bartonovich52 uhhh, you don’t work on your own cars do you?
Maintenance on cars from the 80s are pretty much the same as brand new cars
New cars need to be greased and have oil changes and everything just as much to keep them dependable
Never ever buy into this marketing hype to gullible people about 100,000 mile service intervals!
For example, while the newer coolant CAN last for 100,000 miles in perfect conditions, hardly anyone’s driving habits fit into those conditions
Same with wheel bearings, grease intervals, etc
(It’s actually advancement in the fluids and greases that make them last longer, not the cars themselves)
And things like spark plugs, you can put platinum tipped plugs in ANY old car. Same with fluids
Yeah while some carburetors on older cars/trucks might need a few adjustments over time, but the was taken care of in the 1980s when everything went to fuel injection
Just because a salesman claims something does NOT mean it’s true lol
Please keep your wits and use common sense
You will be glad you did
Bartonovich52 oh and btw every gasoline engine needs it’s spark plugs to be gapped properly
Everything from a 1940 Ford Tudor, a 1973 Chrysler Córdoba, an ‘88 Honda Accord, to a 2019 Lexus
There are only two kinds of vehicles that do not require gapping the spark plugs...diesels and electronic cars lol
(As they don’t use spark plugs)
And you can even put the modern platinum tipped plugs in any car or truck
Hell you can put them in your good ol flathead Briggs and Stratton lawnmower instead of the “old fashioned” RJ19LM Champions if it suits your fancy
But they will still need to be gapped
(Which btw gapping a spark plug takes all of 15 seconds to do lol)
If you haven’t gapped the plugs in your vehicle, go out tomorrow morning and do it immediately.
And just incase you dont have the tool, any auto parts store sells them for about $3.00 dollars
Honestly many mechanics, me included, would argue that some of the most dependable, reliable, and least maintenance requiring vehicles were made in the 1980s and 90s
Less sensors and electrical connections that corrode and go bad
Less servos that wear out
Less emissions systems that malfunction
80s and 90s cars and trucks had comparatively simple engines that just worked
Especially if they had a Honda or Toyota badge (sorry if I’m sounding like you too much Scotty, but it’s true lol)
Or take one of the most dependable domestic engines ever made for example
The Ford 300 inline 6 engine
One of the best engines ever made, and hardly ever needing anything but routine maintenance
(Especially after it was fuel injected in ‘87, but even the carbureted 300s are amazing. Just have to spend a few minutes every year or two with a screwdriver to adjust the carb)
They were an engine design dating back to the 1960s (or even 50s in some ways) and were super well engineered and overbuilt
Easily getting 200K-300K and more miles with very little maintenance
And you didn’t even need to adjust or change the timing belts or chains like modern cars as it used timing gears that pretty much would last forever
Remember, the saying “new and improved” is very often nothing more than simply just a saying companies use to sell products
Electronic emergency brakes also don't work when the battery is out :(
Yeah, as if you're driving anywhere with a dead battery. 🤣
Peter Riis Yup possible, if your Alternator got fucked up. You will drain your battery 🤣🤣

Right - and then you're going nowhere.
When your car suddenly dies, and you're coasting at a high speed with no power and engine brake, guess what? You have no electronic emergency brakes to assist :(
@@Nanogrip
There's no such thing as a car suddenly dying because of battery or generator failure. You will get ample warning in advance, and if you don't heed that - you get what you ask for.
Anyway, what's wrong with the usual brake system?
Computer actuated brakes, what can go wrong😂
That's why I got a base model. I wanted a key and an old fashioned emergency brake.
That's why I like my Jeep Patriot..... Keeps it simple..... Can't tell you how many times my bro has almost pulled off with the e brake engaged on his ford escape
I'm thinking of upgrading to a new car. I like the Golf but it has a button for the parking brake. The Skoda has a real handbrake but the car is the previous gen Polo (although $6k cheaper than the Golf) and there is no dealer near me.

The loaner car at my job is a 20 Corolla and that has the button brake. It really sucks.
Scotty, I'm with you all the way. I believe the E-brake should be a manual concept only. Due to electric failures that happen often. For instance tire pressure sensors, I'm done,they drive me crazy.
Man I feel you on the pressure sensors. Just had all of em fixed on an 07 Monte Carlo not too long ago. Now the left rear reads that it’s totally flat even though it’s full 🙄 this isn’t the first time either. The 08 civics tire sensors though are still going strong im suprised.
Electronic emergency brake + manual transmission helllll no thank you.
Last car I had with tire pressure sensors I took them out before they went bad and put them in a sealed piece of PVC pipe with a tire valve drilled into it. Pumped it to 30psi and left it in the trunk.
@dallastxracing dallastxracing maybe it was before they were programmed that way? I'm not sure the car was an 07. Good to know I might be the able to do that again. Lucky me my current car doesn't even have them!

I think it should be federal law that emergency brakes should be mechanical for safety reasons.
The law says the emergency or parking brakes must be on a separate system from the hydraulic brakes. Whether it's mechanical or electrical doesn't matter.

I would prefer the "law" of the free market versus another "law" mandated by government. Hit the manufacturers in the wallet by not buying cars with this junk technology.

Sometimes it just feels like that everything has to be computerized simply because they can and not because it's better or necessary.
Yeah,,,,,but to play devil's advocate for a second,,,,,,,, I have heard auto industry big-shots saying that the customer is behind many of these unnecessary gizmos going into cars/trucks/SUVs lately. Simply put, if your company's new model vehicle doesn't have the new automated bloopy-de-boop,,,,,,,,, then your product isn't viewed as being "as modern" compared to the competition.

100% agree with ya Scotty. I always put on my parking brake I have never had a problem with my manual emergency brake on my 04 Honda CRV and also I love that the emergency brake handle is on the dash.
Totally agree Scotty. Recently bought a M2 Comp and apart from its performance the reason I got it was the inclusion of a good old manual hand brake, just wish I could say the same about a dipstick.
My biggest disappointment in a test drive of a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE manual. I wasn't happy to see they eliminated the e-brake handle. But I really liked that manual transmission straight from Japan.
@lemon diesel Nothing as of yet. I simply wanted a test drive. I have yet to decide what to trade my money pit 07 Sierra towards yet. Something preferably allot better on gas.
It's not an emergency brake anymore, it's a parking brake.
Parking brakes are supposed to be used in emergency. They are same. What do u think what other option do u have if your primary brakes fail?
when i worked at J.I. Case. we had a trencher we tested what a emergency brake was. it will stop a moving trencher. a parking brake might hold after you stoped.
@@ajinkyagaurkar9704 No they are NOT one in the same, they USED to be. Now there is no such thing as an E brake and that was his point. An E brake was intended to be a mechanical backup to a hydraulic system that could rupture and fail.
@@integr8er66 That's why they switched to dual circuit brakes 40+ years ago
@@erikneland8632 Yes, I know that, but mechanical backup is still the best for emergency.
Had a Buick rental once and tested the electric parking brake while going 45...of course the brakes locked up in the back and made a nice pair of tire marks. The button to the parking brake was also very accessible from the center console to passengers, I could only imagine bad things happening if a passenger accidentally/intensionally pressed it
100% agree with this, takes the fun out of pulling the manual brake too!
I miss my hand brake for sure
Tumbleweed I miss my training wheels for sure
I work on European cars for a living. I had a customer gett a bill for $2,000 when the electric calipers locked up. It's an extra unnecessary luxury that broke and immobilized the car.......it was a POS VW btw.....
W8 Passat engine was a marvel to look at but a nightmare from what i hear to work on. Same deal with the B6 S4 with the shoehorned 4.2L v8
True dat. I like the old style. It had positive engagement and was easy to tell if it was on or off.
Ive learned alot from youre channel and i just got my first car big help scott
That ending "anymore" Scotty sounded like Eeyore lol
Oh bother, such an endless money pit
@@GC-kw1gq xD
Scotty is Eeyore
2:18 I can’t say I’ve ever heard the “AAA” Organization said as _”A - A - A”_ 🤣. I’ve only heard it referred to as “Triple A”.
👍As for the backup camera... the best one is to TURN YOUR DAMN HEAD AROUND!🤯 Also, I agree with keeping the emergency/parking brake mechanical/analog if you will.
Thanks Scotty!
I was wondering about those new electronic emergency brakes switch they are putting on vehicles now. Another thing that Honda did that makes me glad I didn't buy that 2019 CR-V. Great information Scotty as most people, including me, didn't even think about those going out and not being a cable. Expensive for sure to fix!
Agreed, I like oldschool e break with a handle too.
We had the e-brake get stuck on when the battery died in a remote area when we were out camping in their CX-5. Jumped started, let it run a while to get the battery topped back up. Upon trying to drive, "Service e-brake system" was displayed. We couldn't get this issue to clear, the e-brake was stuck on and couldn't drive. Shutting down, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting resolved the issue.
Omg really? .....This is retarded lol......
@@johnny310xx
In other words, the car blue-screened, so yes...
Wait till you have to change the rear brakes on a electric emergency brake,some cars you need a dealer level scan tool,
Yep, VW is the worst for this. Others are easier like domestic brands, though I wouldn't know rust up here make them all a pain. I will say I prefer the European made rotors compared to the domestic crap that's made in China, the euro ones usually aren't crumbling apart when trying to take them off which is always fun.
I was going to buy a Honda Civic but changed my mind because of this electronic parking brake. Makes no sense on a manual trans car.
I was looking at a fancy Audi, but this and a friend telling me how Audi is prone to have electrical problems, hell no.
I bought a -93 adventure motorcycle instead ^^
lemon diesel I heard that Lexus techs only have cars come in for fluids and brakes they be board cause work barely comes in
Are you serious? Makes no sense to have a parking brake on a manual transmission car??? Wow
@lemon diesel yeah that's what's confusing
@@SundownCamry the one who is confusing is actually you.. 🤔
Thank you Scotty,you are a fine man.
Last time I was this early I had a mechanical e brake!
Can't agree more. Would give this a million likes if I could.
You actually can just make a million different accounts and like this video with every single one of them lol...
Scotty, back in 1977 I had a Mustang II. That was the year of a seemingly ENDLESS, SEVERE AND SNOWY winter. Living in southern Ohio, many times when approaching an intersection, you were forced to stop coming down an incline.
I discovered if I led with the hand operated emergency brake and feathered in with the toe brake I could not only stop quicker, but always maintained my line.
Hello Scotty, I do enjoying watching your videos and I like your honest opinion on car issues, it is just great! P.S. I do like the scary and surprised cats you have in your sofa 😋
I have had my master cylinder go out before at night and no shops were around or open.
Used my emergency brake and made it home.
Like you said, you can gradually apply pressure to come to a stop.
Michael Cowan Exactly. A lot of people on here can't understand that, they think that it must be applied all at once !
@@johnyoung468
Very true
@@johnyoung468 No I think people get that...
You are not supposed to drive with the emergency brake and limp home with it - it is used to stop the car period. You were supposed to then call for somebody to pick you up and either leave your car there or have it towed.
It’s called improvised. Who needs towing
And I love the e-brake for balancing a slide in the winter.
How
@@jalenhood4941
For example, if the front wheels slide, you have some options, one is to make the rear end slide instead, but it takes practice and familiarity with the car.
Very good point about those electric brakes!
Every point you made is exactly right on.
i totally agree Scotty!
I love the hand break cause I know when it's on
I am taking over a small rental fleet and they all have this boneheaded feature.
Some of them also have buttons for the transmission.
I'm 100% behind you on this one Scotty. I like to have contact with the linkage, the steering wheel, the mechanical key, and my own cable brake.... I even hate automatic doors.
The robots are beginning to arm wrestle with us, and it is not fun.
"Rev up your computers!"
lol
My emergency brake has saved me from accidents would not have with a foot push or electeonic
I've used foot push to stop when regular brakes failed. I just pulled the release with my left hand while stepping on the the brake
Jack Wyatt not saying it doesnt work it just not would have in atleast 2 of my cases
Car companies will learn when their pockets start getting lighter. Due to individual and class action lawsuits!
Or one of their customer's cars ends up parked in their living room due to failure and shitty design
Love Scotty! ♥️
Yuuup sure right,,,great video scotty..preciate them all..👍👍🍻🍻
Hey if you find yourself rolling towards a cliff and your electronic brake throws a code - just reboot. :-)
At risk of sounding like a luddite, I always find myself saying: "Smart technology, Dumb results."
The idea of calling it smart is a reflection of how dumb the operator has to be in order to need it, because most things labelled "smart" are dumb, pland obsolescence, that's the term, a dumb solution to the dumbing down of people, forgeting that dumbing people is in itself dumb, an idea itself dumb because it was invented by people who have been given everything they have and never had to work or contribute for anything.
• Technology can only ever be as good as the imperfect humans who create it.
• Cars are becoming more autonomous because their owners are becoming more lazy and incompetent
THANK GOD for my simple S10 truck..Crank Windows..Cable Emergency Brake..Non Power Seats..Non Power Locks..No Cruise Control..👍
Yes sir physical breaks are the best my 2013 Ford Fiesta SE has a hand break and its helped me avoid accidents twice
"If it ain't broken, dont fix it."
If it ain't broke, ebreak it.
hurricanesteve65 This should be the slogan at all mechanic shops.
Engineers would be out of a job. Engineers are always changing and redesigning things that work perfectly well. Just to keep their jobs
@I'm Still Alive Send me their email addresses and I will.
@@johnd4348 "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is."
Don’t forget. This stupid trend started in the super car Lamborghinis.
No it didn't. The first implementation and continuous use started in 2002 7 series BMWs.
Nah my mom has one on her bmw idk what year maybe from 05-09
Lambos had them in the late 90's
@@ismaeltirado9690 yeah was gonna say a buddy of mines dad had a 2001 Lincoln LS with one of these stupid things..
Semi trucks had button parking brakes for a long time now
Been working as a technician for 15+ plus years right in the middle of the rust belt and have never ever had 1 single issue with electronic parking brake , but as to mechanic parking brakes cables always seize up even if the vehicle is a coup for years old
Oscar Lopez The main reason (in my experience) for manual parking brake cables seizing or breaking is lack of routine use and basic attention.
Yup. Same with the "drive by wire," throttle solenoid. Planned Obsolescence.
Scotty recording this video: 😀
Me watching this video🤔
I agree about the parking brake.
Scotty is in good form here, lots of good points.
My 2017 Volkswagen Jetta has a traditional hand brake. Works just find. No unnecessary complicated stuff.
Subaru had a recall recently related to the electric ebrake system
thereve what year?
My 2019 Subaru has eyesight .and if I'm using my cruise control my Subaru gets confused and thinks someone is still in front of me. even though they've turned into the turn lane
Jacob Bennett, I’ve experienced the same thing, freaked me out...the car in front has to be way out of the view of the cameras, before you can activate “RESUME”.
I totally agree with you scotty there is far too musc technology on cars today, in 10 to 15 years the electronics will be a nightmare.
The E-Brake switch on my dads 2013 Land Rover LR2 just completely failed a few weeks ago, so happy my car still has a manual lever.
