Description of the problem | The 2015 subaru outback 2. 5i limited w eyesight system had been parked on a surface parking lot near marshall bwi airport for about 12 days. The parking brake had been applied at the time of original parking. This electronic brake could not be disengaged after repeated starts of the car. Brakes were apparently locked. A tow truck was called. The car had to be moved with the brakes on to get it out of the parking space and on to a flatbed tow truck. The dealer found that the left rear wheel brake was locked in position. Apparently the other three wheels were free to move. The eyesight system malfunction light was on the drivers screen. The service advisor recommended that the parking brake not be applied when the vehicle is parked for a number days, particularly on a flat surface. |
