3 Parking Brake problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2002

Parking brake needs constant adjustment to be effective. The parking brake is completely unusable after less than 2,000 miles after an adjustment. I have asked Toyota about this several times, but have never received an effective solution or answer to the problem. Since I very rarely use my parking brake, it is very easy to not know that it does not work.
