Repair handbrake - 2006 Chevrolet Aveo LS

Hi. Make sure the handbrake is fully released. The switch that is triggered by the position of the lever could be faulty or additional repairs may be needed.

I
recently tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my jcb 3cx site-master. it wont move forward or reverse, engine is good both solenoids for forward and reverse work.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and works perfect! got it from www.reliable-store.comAll the best

My friend is a part time mechanic he gets his solutions from www.reliable-store.com he gets from their every single detailed info, instructions,
diagrams, error codes, troubleshooting, transmission etc. everything on all vehicles, and manuals like service, repairs, parts, owner's, operations, maintenance etc.
U can get help from there
there is a girl at chat she can help you

First you should check your handbrake. It could be partially on or just out of adjustment.
Jack up each rear tire, put a jack stand under the car for safety, then, with the handbrake off, try to spin the rear wheel by hand. The tire should rotate easily.
Pull up the handbrake until you can't rotate it. Count the handbrake clicks, if it's less than 4, it should be adjusted.
Do the above procedure for both rear wheels.

If the wheel still locks, it could be caused by a sticking brake caliper. Someone will have to look at the brakes and repair the lock-up.

With old style handbrake, you can remove some screws around the handbrake covering. The screws are sometimes well hidden so you have to look around.
When you get the covering off, there are two adjusting nuts at the rear of the handbrake. Turn the nuts until you can get "5 clicks" on the handbrake to set the brakes.
Some jack up the car while doing this so they can rotate the wheels by hand to feel when the brakes touch the pads.
Hope this helps

Driving with the brake engaged has likely broken a part of the system as the parking brake is designed to not allow the car to move. You should (or have a qualified tech) inspect the parking brake system and repair the problem.

the rachet and lock on the handbrake handle itself is faulty and either needs 'loooking' at or replacing. leave the car in gear in addition to the handbrake to make sure ur car doesnt do a runner while u are waiting for repairs.

Hopefully you still have the repair invoice from the dealer. Use this to determine which parts were repaired or replaced then go to USA.gov and select product recalls. You can file a complaint there. You should also notify the dealer that the problem was not repaired and you'll legal action if necessary.

needds to be ajusted at the back

Have you checked brake fluid level? It is on the same cicuit and puts on the light if the level is too low.  The handbrake switch is usually under the trim for the lever, just a simple on/off switch which can become dislodged if the lever is bent out of line through use.
