“Parking brake engages without warning while vehicle is underway. While the vehicle is underway at 30mph in a straight line, with no warning, one or both of the parking (emergency) brakes may engage, locking the rear wheel(s), and causing the car to slow abruptly or skid. The car has to be driven with the emergency brakes engaged to a safe place out of traffic. Once stopped, the condition can be cleared by depressing and holding the parking brake latch button and vigorously pumping the handle up and down. …”
