2006 Pacifica emergency brake problem.

Here you go watch this youtube video ! CHRYSLER PACIFICA STUCK IN PARK

Have your rear brakes inspected for excessive wear and to make sure the E-Brake Cable is not broken.

Sounds like your brakes are sticking. Possibly the emergency brake is not disengaging entirely? Stop the car and put in park. Apply emergency brake as hard/far as possible. Then release and put in drive and try to go. Most emergency brakes are self adjusting. If the problem still persists, have it taken to your mechanic.

1st question, do the brake lights work? The systems lock out solenoid gets power from the bake light circuit, so you can't shift out of park unless the brake pedal are pressed, it senses this through the brake light switch.

Over here we call it a parking brake - hardly any of our cars are autos.

Parking brakes usually connect to the rear disc brake calipers but some manufacturers use a small drum brake in the disc centre for parking purposes due to the complexity of the caliper with integral parking brake.

When adjusting a parking brake it is important in most designs for the cable to be adjusted only to remove any free play without moving the caliper levers from the backstops and then if the parking brake lever or pedal travel is excessive it must be because of wear or other faults. Sometimes that basic requirement must be taken with a pinch or two of "experienced" salt...

Ford have a self adjusting parking brake I have experience of. A spring within the system preloads the cable eliminating all slack in the cable so the cable moves the caliper levers from the first. The main problem with the system is the preload spring is sometimes strong enough to overcome the resistance of the caliper spring and cause a binding brake. No manual adjustment was provided.
In that case I find fabricating and fitting brackets to anchor additional return springs to the calipers is a must.

Adjustment

1. Place parking brake lever in -full released- position.
2. Raise and support vehicle.
3. Remove plug in parking brake shoe support to access adjuster star-wheel.
4. Through the access hole, rotate the adjuster star wheel in the following direction to expand the shoes outward against the drum:
   1. Left brake - Rotate star-wheel toward rear of vehicle.
   2. Right brake - Rotate star-wheel toward front of vehicle.
5. Using an appropriate tool, turn adjuster star wheel until wheel will not rotate (dead lock).
6. Back off adjuster six detents (teeth).
7. Rotate wheel, checking for light drag. If drag is too heavy, continue to back off adjuster one detent at a time until light drag is present. Do not back off star-wheel more than 17 detents from wheel lock.
8. Install access plug.
9. Adjust opposite wheel parking brake shoes using same method.
10. Lower vehicle.
11. Apply and release parking brake lever once to ensure proper operation of parking brakes.

Removal & Installation NOTE The following procedure may be used to remove shoes on either side of the vehicle.

1. Lock out automatic adjuster in parking brake lever.
2. Raise and support vehicle.
3. Access and remove rear hub and bearing.
4. Remove parking brake cable bolt at knuckle.
5. Completely back off parking brake shoe adjustment.
6. Remove parking brake shoe adjuster spring.
7. Remove shoe adjuster.
8. Remove upper brake shoe hold-down clip and pin.
9. Remove lower brake shoe hold-down clip and pin.
10. Remove upper and lower shoes with return spring from shoe actuator.
11. Remove return spring from shoes.

To install:

1. Install return spring between upper and lower shoes.
   NOTE Before installing shoes on actuator, make sure actuator hooked to rear cable is positioned with word -UP- facing outward.
2. Install upper and lower shoes with return spring on shoe actuator located on parking brake cable.
3. Install lower brake shoe hold-down pin through rear of support and lower shoe, then install hold-down clip.
4. Install upper brake shoe hold-down pin through rear of support and upper shoe, then install hold-down clip.
5. Install shoe adjuster. Place end of adjuster with star wheel upward.
6. Install parking brake shoe adjuster spring.
7. Install bolt securing parking brake cable to knuckle and tighten bolt to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm).
8. Using Brake Shoe Gauge, Special Tool C-3919, or equivalent, measure inside diameter of parking brake drum portion of rotor.
9. Place Gauge over parking brake shoes at widest point.
10. Using adjuster star wheel, adjust parking brake shoes until linings on both park brake shoes just touch jaws on gauge. This will give a good preliminary adjustment of parking brake shoes, before a final adjustment is made at end of this procedure.
11. Install hub and bearing with wheel speed sensor as well as all components necessary to access it.
12. Lower vehicle.
13. Unlock automatic adjuster in parking brake lever.
14. Perform final adjustment of parking brake shoes

15. 
    Adjustment This vehicle is equipped with permanently sealed rear wheel bearings. There is no periodic lubrication or maintenance recommended for these units.
    

    
    Removal & Installation

    1. Raise and support vehicle.
    2. Remove wheel mounting nuts, then tire and wheel assembly.
    3. If equipped with AWD:
       1. Remove cotter pin, nut lock and spring washer from half shaft.
       2. While a helper applies brakes to keep hub from turning, remove hub nut and washer.
    4. Remove brake caliper and rotor from hub and bearing assembly.
       
       

       Fig. Hub assembly
       

    5. Disconnect vehicle wiring harness connector at wheel speed sensor connector.
    6. Unclip wheel speed sensor connector from spare tire mounting support.
    7. Disconnect two sensor cable routing clips on rear suspension crossmember.
    8. Disconnect two sensor cable routing clips along toe link.
    9. Disconnect sensor cable from bracket on brake support.
       
       
    10. Completely loosen, but do not remove four bolts fastening hub and bearing in place. Once loosened from threads in hub and bearing, push bolts up against rear of hub and bearing to keep brake support plate in place when hub and bearing is removed.
        
        

        Fig. Rear hub and bearing mounting bolts
        

    11. Pull hub and bearing off knuckle and half shaft (if equipped with AWD), then thread wheel speed sensor cable through hole in brake support plate as it is removed with hub and bearing.
        
        
    To install:
    
    1. Position hub and bearing bolts though rear of knuckle and parking brake support just enough to hold support in place as hub and bearing is installed.
    2. Install hub and bearing by first feeding end of wheel speed sensor cable through hole in bottom of parking brake support. As this is being done, if equipped with AWD, slide hub and bearing onto half shaft. Place hub and bearing through brake support, onto knuckle, lining up mounting bolt holes with bolts and placing wheel speed sensor head at bottom.
    3. Install four bolts fastening hub and bearing in place. Tighten mounting bolts to 60 ft. lbs. (81 Nm).
    4. Place wheel speed sensor cable routing grommet into bracket on parking brake support.
    5. Route wheel speed sensor cable along toe link and rear suspension crossmember connecting routing clips where shown.
    1. Connect vehicle wiring harness to wheel speed sensor connector.
    2. Install brake rotor and caliper.
    3. If equipped with AWD:
       1. Install washer and hub nut on end of half shaft.
       2. While a helper applies brakes to keep hub from turning, tighten hub nut to 180 ft. lbs. (244 Nm).
       3. Install spring washer, nut lock and cotter pin on end of half shaft.
    4. Install tire and wheel assembly. Install and tighten wheel mounting nuts to 100 ft. lbs. (135 Nm).
    
    
    

    
    
    

If you have disc brakes, there is no adjustment and the emergency/parking brake as no effect on pedal travel. The emergency/parking brake uses regular drum type shoes working in a small drum inside the rotor and is independant of the service brakes.

If the car has a center console between the seats, and the e-brake lever is there, remove the console there should be a bolt to tighten or loosen. Loosen it with the lever DOWN, pull the cable as tight as it will go with your hand and a pair of pliers. Holding the cable in place tighten the bolt or nut that secures the cable. If this doesn't fix it, have your rear brakes inspected and/or adjusted.

LIFT THE CAR AND ON BACK OF WHEEL YOU HAVE SMALL OVAL RUBER. INSIDE HAVE TOOTHED NUT. USE SCREWDRIVER AND ADJUST HAND BRAKE (UP OR DOWN). ON THE END, WHEEL MUST STILL TURN FREELY. ADJUST BOTH WHEELS. HANDBRAKE WILL ENGAGE SOONER AUTOMATICLY SINCE YOU DO BASIC (MEHANICAL) ADJUSTMENT.
MARKO

first, jack up the rear and adjust the brake shoes themselves, then you may have to adjust the e-brake cable underneath.. sometimes the adjustment is on the e-brake handle....
