I haven't had any problems with it since I got it about a month and a half ago. Any ideas? ...

Well, I'll give it a go. How is your parking brake? Do you use it much? If you don't use it regularly the levers can freeze up and then when it is used it could get stuck in the brake position.

Well I use the e brake whenever I park, but it doesn't work all that well, if I'm on a slant it'll roll backwards.

If you're still having problems with it, your parking brake could be sticking too...
