Has anyone had any issues with the parking brake not auto releasing after throttle input?
This has happened to me (and my wife) when driving from stationary in both first and reverse gears. Seat belts were being worn and doors were shut.
The problem was initially intermittent but over a week became constant. On one occasion when parked on an incline with a wall in front several attempts of releasing whilst in reverse resulted in getting closer and closer to the wall before finally getting the parking brake to free-up by constantly dipping the throttle. I know there is a manual way of getting it to release by depressing the brake pedal and flicking the switch but this is not suitable for all occasions and more to the point shouldn't generally be necessary.
Took it back to the dealer and was able to demonstrate the problem several times to the 'Master Technician' who arranged for it to be booked in two weeks hence. As the time approached for the service appointment the problem became intermittent again and guess what after 24 hours, with the dealer and their Master Technicians, it had gone and they were unable to replicate it.
Brought the car home tonight but a bit concerned it will happen again. Any thoughts/advice gratefully accepted.
