Mine seems to hold OK.  I parked on a slope today and was focused so much on the parking brake that I left the tranny in D.  :o    Car hadn't moved when I came back.  8-)
You shouldn't have been able to remove the key.  :-?

The Omega has quite a fine ratchet on it (unlike some which are very course....)

I aim for fully on at 7 clicks as this ensures that when released there is slack in the cable....

Can throw you off since it won't start in D.  ;)
