Is there a way to stop the parking brake automatically going on when parking the car?
I was away on holiday for 8 days and my car was seized solid with the parking brake. I was up at 4500 revs in D and R trying to get it to brake free. After about 8 or 9 times it finnaly came free. Was a lot of noise coming from the discs obviously from all the rust when driving. I work a 3 and 3 week rotation and the car has never done it before so worried why it done it there for only being parked 8 days and especially to that extend.
It’s either due to the colder weather or maybe as I washed it just before I left and it had not moved since it’s last wash. Was easy enough fix in my last car as it was manual so just left it in gear and never applied handbrake.
