I would check the cables, and be sure your rear brakes are actally engaging when you pull up on the lever. Does it seem to work at all, or just slightly? If it works just slightly, check the cables and adjustment.

take out the cup holders and look down in the center consol. YOu'll see a brass screw w/a fitting, just tighten it and it'll tighten the brake. it's really pretty easy and a good thing to know how to do

if adjusting it doesn't help, pull off the rotors and check the shoes for the parking brake.

The drum-in-disc rear e-brake setup has an adjustment star behind a rubber plug in the center of the rotor. Turn it once or twice to move the pads closer to the drum-in-disc.

If it's only the matter of a little adjustment you may be able to try this trick (since it's a self adjusting system).
drive in reverse at a slow speed and pull the parking brake. The self adjusters should set out, and tighten. Do this a couple times, if it doesn't help adjust the star wheel through teh rotor.

to adjust the star thingy, you are supposed to turn it till the hub won't turn. then move it the opposite way 5 clicks
