You might need new brakes in the rear or you might need to adjust them.

How long have you owned the car ? Did the slack come on slowly over time.....would be normal. Check rear shoes ? Self adjusting rear brake wheel is a little tricky if you don't undertand it etc. You adjust the hand brake lever by removing the console.

Take the e-brake cover off or armrest and adjust it. I only have to pull mine up a few inches and its fine.

you can tighten up a little screw right behind your e brake. you need to take off the plastic that covers it. its only 2 screws to undo it so u can get access to the back of the ebrake handle...
