Within the last month, the parking brake tends to go on and off at will. I have tried everything to duplicate the problem, but I can't. It seems to get better the longer the car is driven. Any ideas? Thanks.

Check the fluid in the master cylinder. It's probably getting low. Also check your front brake pads. Your pads could be worn out causing the fluid to now be residing in the calipers.
Thanks. But I had a complete brake job 2,000 miles ago. But I will check the brake fluid. Thanks.
If the fluid is low and the front brake pads are near new, then it's time to look for leaks.
Well, the fluid was low, but I don't see anything on the floor. I'll have to check the insides of the tires. Thanks.
You'll want to do a thorough inspection. Check all the brake lines, check the master cylinder, remove the drums and check the wheel cylinders.
