I was just parking in a flat parking lot near my home. No off-roading, no 4 wheel drive etc, just normal street driving. I was pulling slowly into a spot and as I started to apply pedal pressure I abruptly came to a stop. When I tried to creep the rest of the way forward the brakes were locked. I turned it on and off a few times, tried the release lever, tried applying the gas pedal to disengage, disconnected the battery…all to no avail. I was in danger of missing a job interview so I left it for a few hours and when I came back to call a tow truck I tried a couple more times to get the lever to work which again didnt work. So I tried to override it with the accelerator and finally it disengaged. I was fortunate to not be off-road like you were. So far I’ve gotten shrugs from the dealer even though I got an on screen “brake system fault” warning. I know it’s not exactly like your situation but I figure the more we document similar occurrences and keep these threads alive the more likely it may end up being helpful for others.So tell me about the failure to disengage and what you did to resolve.
