“Emergency brake does not engage due to actuator lever on caliper being stuck. There is an open recall for this issue with vehicles matching my make, model and year but my vehicle does not seem to be included in said recall. This issue was noticed when the emergency brake was lifted but the vehicle continued to be able to roll while in my driveway.”
NHTSA complaint #11195953, filed 2019-04, 44,000 miles“The parking brake is sticking when the vehicle is in motion, and it fails to keep the vehicle stationary when engaged. The car cannot operate correctly with the emergency brake engaged. Also it’s not safe since the car cannot be secured. There is an open recall for this issue however my VIN isn’t included but the issue is the same. This has been occurring for a few months, we just were able to figure out the issue last night and then I found the recall.”
