it should automatically adjust. Have you checked to make sure that the cable did not snap?

Who towed it with the E-brake on?

Did you leave it on, or them?
If they left it on, I would contact them about fixing it (although it may be too late at this point).

Anyway, when you pull the handle is there any resistance? If not the cable is probably snapped.

I'm having the exact same symptoms as listed above. If my cable is broken, how do I hook up a new one? --AZ28
