Re: Handbrake Question!!
Sounds like they may have over tightened it.

John,
That's not always practical. Generally your not going to switch your vehicle off and park it if you opening up a gate or roll-a-door, etc.
Sarah,
Don't dishearten yourself totally. The X-Trail is a vehicle like any other and problems will occur now and in the future with all sorts of things which will need to be maintained.
My handbrake was a bit sloppy for the first 40000k until I had mine adjusted and has been perfect for the last 23000k.
So it's only the handbrake that is giving you grief??? Can I tell you that your lucky and that just as well the rest of the X-Trail is working fine as expected.

Re: Handbrake Question!!
Any make of vehicle will have its problems, some major, some minor, because it is assembled from parts, some of it manually by people who can not always do it the same way or take the same care.

Re: Handbrake Question!!
Hi Guys,
Regardless of how good the exy is, you'd have to agree that the handbrake is very flimsy for such a good car. I have never had such a loose hand brake handle in all of my previous cars.
The handbrake itself been working fine, but the movement of the handle was there from day one. I got it tightened by the dealer a couple of times and then a week later everything comes back, so I have given up on it.

Re: Handbrake Question!!
I thought it was just mine with a loose handbrake handle. When I go over rough ground it bounces up and down and the handbrake light comes on and off, on the dash.

Re: Handbrake Question!!
I wouldn't be surpised Dave. Actually the handbrake light is very sensitive and you only need to move the handbrake handle slightly up (even before the first click) and the dash light would come on.
