I suspect the parking brake for the 02 Honda Civic si is defective. With the engine running and my foot off the brakes but with the parking brake fully engaged, the car rolled forward on my driveway and rolled backwards while I was waiting for a traffic light changeover. Since these 2 incidents, I've always keep my foot on the brakes waiting for light changeover and when parked, I put the car in gear and use the parking brake as well. The times the car rolled, I was on a very slight incline. Several people on edmunds. Com and ephatch. Com forum have reported similar experiences.
