“On two occasions in the last month, when attempting to start the car, it doesn't start, the interior dash lights start flickering, and a notification displays stating, "Parking brake cannot be applied". I then have to "jump" the 12-volt battery. The main issue is the notification stating the parking brake cannot be applied because before shutting off the car the night before, I make sure the parking brake IS applied. However, it seems like the 12-volt battery is dead when I attempt to start it the following day; it automatically turns off the parking brake or at least notifies me that it is in error based on the message I receive.”Owner report · Electrical System · Oct 2024
