Thats quite normal for any automatic car. The parking Pawl hasnt reached the stop end gear, so it rolls a little bit until it gets there. I just use my parking brake, I dont like putting the stresses on the motor/motor mounts.

:werd: Next time you park, the car, put it in neutral, apply the parking brake, then shift into park. Problem solved.

how much is excessive?

 

i dont see it being bad for the mounts unless the car is on a big hill or something and slams into the stop pins. little creep on flat ground 2-3 inches isnt gonna hurt anything

I wish it would ding when you left the parking brake on... When I installed my subs the power cable was in such a place that the next time I stepped on the parking brake it fell into the assembly. When I let off the brake again the cable got in the way and stopped it from releasing completely. I went for a drive and noticed the car was a bit slower than usual, and it had that funny smell of burning brakes. So I pulled over and sure enough my rims were nice and toasty. Lesson learned, the power cable isn't anywhere near the brake assembly now.

My friend's '05 Grand Am has about 26k miles on it and his ebrake doesn't work anymore cuz he ALWAYS uses it when he parks..It worked perfectly when he got it w/ 22-23k on it.

 

The only place I could find understandable where he would need to use it is his driveway, as it is kinda steep..

 

Oh and he still pulls it up when it doesn't even work :lol:

 

Same situation w/ my dad's Tahoe.

That should be covered under warenty (the e-brake cable). I would be getting that fixed, especially on a GA, they have enuf problems with the front end, dont need to add parking stress to it.
