Handbrake stopped working for about six weeks and we did not get hand brake fixed. Then all of a sudden the handbrake started to work 4/8 days. Now the handbrake has stopped working again and the car is making a very loud noise while driving. It sounds like a real loud humming noise and the car does not feel very stable.

Hi SHANNON,

It sounds like something is broken in the rear brake assembly of the car I would not drive it anymore until you look at the problem, here is a guide that will let you know what you are in for when repairing the car.
