Summary

Technical Instructions: The Brake Hold system maintains brake application when the shift lever is in a forward gear position or in ?N? (Neutral) and the brake pedal has been depressed to stop the vehicle. The system releases the brake when the accelerator pedal is depressed with the shift lever in ?D? (Drive) or a Manual mode. Under certain conditions, (for example, when unfastening the driver?s seat belt while the system is enabled), the brake hold function is designed to deactivate, sound a warning buzzer, display a message in the instrument cluster, and automatically set the electronic parking brake. On the involved vehicles, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for the system may not set the parking brake as expected and as described in the Owner?s Manual. If the parking brake does not set as designed, there is a possibility the vehicle could creep forward or backward.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 7 complaints in the brakes category.
