Don't know if anyone else had this problem. Tried to put parking brake on and would not lock. The pawl had flipped and would not lock. Figured out how to reset but found out if you go more than 3 clicks this could happen. Need to adjust so holds with 1 click. I only have 5000 miles on it. Don't use that much.

I don’t know why the pawl flips on yours. I adjusted mine a couple of weeks ago for the first time. It took 5 or 6 clicks (maybe more) to hold the brakes but always locked just fine. I set mine at 3 clicks as in your attachment and it works perfectly. I would think that if you set it to hold at 1 click, you would have excessive drag when released.
