AnswerFirst thing to check is the brake fluid levels.

Second is that the emergency brake pedal is fully released.

Third - could be excessive brake pedal travel - having to push it too far. This might be the brakes are in need of repair / replace.

Anything else, have the brake system inspected.

AnswerIf the emergency brake is partially on due to a sticking cable, or a weak brake master cylinder starting to go out.( does the brake feel a little spongy?) Check to make sure that the E-brake is fully released and the cable is not hanging up due to corrosion.I hope this helps you.
