Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While parked on a slight incline the hand brake was set. The vehicle started to roll forward, i put the vehicle in gear and reset the hand brake more firmly only to hear a snap and the handle had zero resistance. The spring broke internally. I had the vehicle in gear and engine off so it did not roll forward any more, but looking online have discovered this is a very common problem and if the hand brake is need may easily fail - it did not take a hard pull to break the spring. My concern is the use in an emergency situation or very steep inclines where the hand brake may be required.
