well on my 94 a bright red light comes on when mines set...as for how bad it is..its not good by any means..but a few years ago on one of our family vacations we had a friend along and my mom n her were takin turns driving and apparently she set the ebrake on our car then n drove about 75 on the interstate for idk 10 miles? or so..and ya it smelled terrible and was hot as hell but didnt mess anything up really bad..im sure the brakes didnt like it much tho
