Serious question. So what happens if your electronic park brake fail?

If park on slope need to carry two big bricks in the car? 

 

It is serious & worrying indeed! 

Looks like I have to keep at least 2 pcs of bricks in each of my cars as standby 😅

Isn't it automatic at your kinda category of cars? I thought it automatically engages when u stop the car for more than a few seconds. 

Haha my cars are still manual brakes. 

Some cars yes but some cars no . For example , those merc C class previously , still using foot brake , I dun think I ever use it . If it’s auto gear cars , I think P is good enough even if it’s parked on a up or down slope ..

Car with more gadgets will tend to have issues, try to stay away from such cars especially e-brake or e-start/stop, eventually malfunction will occurs . .  harness issues or whatever thy claim, even foot break can be a boring, at least i don't have a carry a brick or 2

Use the Gearbox to hold the Car in Slope will damage it....the part that ''lock'' the Car just a small piece of Metal engaged on a Gear...not strong.

Have had at least 30 cars in the last 20 years and never had a single issue with not using the parking brake at all . 
 

Never had a car that encounter damages that requires any repairs or whatsoever ...

You changed Car in less than 1 Year,of course no problem to you,pity the next Owner,that bought your Cars.

They not parking on steep slope, they dont know can just put at P?

Or even put at D and off engine. den try push the car see if it rolls lor.

Put D ignition key cannot turn off unless it’s keyless entry . 
 

keyless entry put to park without handbrake on can be done. Just that the risk of jamming the gearbox when you next try to move off is high. But it’s a temp solution till it’s sorted out I supposed.

This electronic parking brake brake has inherent issues in other makes too.

Nothing beats the conventional handbrake.
