Description of the problem	On may 7, 2014, at approximately 11:00 pm i parked in a parking space, on a hill, at towson woods apartment complex. I turned the car off with the emergency brake engaged at over 3/4 of the way up. I was standing about 10 feet outside my car, which was off and stationary, talking to a friend for approximately 10-15 minutes when my car started to roll backwards of its own accord. I attempted to push it, which failed, and then i jumped into the drivers seat and tried to pull the emergency brake up as far as it could go, which did not stop the car. It then crashed into the bumper of another car. Because the wheel had been turned to the left when i parked, the car had rolled at an angle so that only the right side bumper made contact with the other car? S big aluminum bumper that sticks out. After driving the car out from against the bumper, i found there to be cosmetic damage that included the bumper sticking out. (estimate $855) may 16, 2014 at 9:00 am. After approximately an hour and a half i was told that the technicians found that the emergency brake applied when the handle was applied all the way up, which they termed ? Within normal operation." however, for ? Peace of mind,? They told me that they tightened the brake so that now it only goes up 5 clicks. The actual wording used is ? Tech made minor adjustment so ebrake does not go all the way up.? On may 21, 2014, at approximately 7:05 pm, i started my car and a flashing light on my dashboard appeared. This is the ? Bsm off? Light, in regards to the blind spot monitoring. I read the manual and it said to clean the area where the bsm sensors are, which i did. It still was malfunctioning so i did the next step in the manual, which was to take the car to the dealer. Estimate $250 on june 2 the problem happened again. The parking brake goes all the way up. We are taking it back to the dealer again to have it fixed.
