I have noticed that when I put the foot operated handbrake on and move the car into P and then I release the footbrake the car will roll forward a full 1 and half wheel rotations. Furthermore there is a squealing noise, the family could here the car from inside the house.

I am not sure if this is to do with the handbrake needed adjustment or something else. I also remember the other day when washing the car I leant down with some weight on the rear wheel to clean it and the wheel made a noise like the handbrake was partially on. I have noticed that when passengers get out of the back of the car it makes a noise as pressure is being released from the suspension.

Any thoughts?
 
Also when braking now the is a squeal, it could be the fronts or brake dust. It can not be the rears as they are almost new.
 
Does it seem like I just need to get the handbrake adjusted?
