| Description of the problem | 70% of the time i try to activate the electronic parking brake, the computer just 'chirps' and the 'brake' light on the dash blinks. The parking brake is not actuated thus the vehicle is at risk of rolling down a hill with noone at the wheel. This system should be recalled at least and redesigned to a higher standard of dependability. It is a brake for god's sake!! |
