I've noticed lately that my parking brake will skip a tooth when I go to engage it. I've never been one to "rip" it up, I pull up 5-6 clicks and leave it at that. Lately though on the 4th or 5th click, it will skip up like one of the ticks has disappeared. You can definitely feel it "missing" something as you pull the brake up.

Technically it works.. so I am reluctant to bring it to a mechanic and my nearest dealer is an hour away. I realize that with time the brake gets looser as the cables stretch out but it seems strange it would skip like this. Anyone else had this happen? FWIW I'm only at 15k miles.
