Dt: the contact stated the parking brake will inadvertently release after locking it. This has been happening for over 4-5 years. It has gotten progressively worse over the years. It will click as if it was locked, then it will jerk. It will make a very loud popping noise before it jerked. The dealer told him the car was too old. The manufacturer said it was out of warranty. *ak
