    Major issue(?) on my 2016 Spark EV

    I don't quite get it. Did it end well? Or do you still have any issues? Did you fill the coolant?

    E-brake engaged but my Spark still moves

    @Big Broski is right. It sounds like it is a mechanical problem. The parking brake works by using brake shoes inside the rotors. Those can be adjusted similarly to drum brakes.
