Randomly, my electronic parking brake, out of nowhere decided it would go on the fritz and completely locked up so my car wouldn’t move. Then I turned the car off and it wouldn’t start back up because the parking brake wasn’t working. Why the parking brake not working would effect whether or not the car starts, I have no idea, that’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.
So I tried fiddling with the brake button and seeing if my car would start (because this happened before and that is how I fixed it) but I couldn’t get it started, and after like 5 tries, I had completely drained my battery. My window was down and I wasn’t in the best neighborhood so I couldn’t leave my car. I was stranded in the hot sun for almost 12 hours before I was able to get some help charging the battery. I had to manually shut off the electric parking brake, so now my car will start and drive I just can’t Safeway park on any hills since the parking brake is completely shut off.
This is a 2019 Honda - it shouldn’t have a problem like this. I had a 2002 Acura RSX that made it to almost 400,000 miles when someone totaled it. It would have easily kept going but now Honda has to put all this electric bs in their cars and it is causing them to go on the fritz. I have had more issues than this but I will post those separately.
