They should lock unless you are going to fast or they are out of adjustment.

Yeah, you have to adjust them otherwise it doesn't put enough tension on the cable.

Isn.t there an adjustment on the cable where the 2 rear cables meet the front one (same as 3rd gens, right?)

dont the rear calipers have to adjust first then the ebrake gets tighter? i could be wrong considering this is my first car with 4wdisc.

from my understanding there are screws on the calipers that need to be adjusted and the ebrake handel is "automaticly adjusted"
