The emergency brake cable simply broke upon regular deployment. The failure happened on a low grade hill, not a steep hill. The dealership, king's dodge, cincinnati, reported the cause of failure was weather corrosion to the components. The estimate to repair it was very expensive. I've never had an emergency brake fail on any of my previous dodge vehicles.
