Hi All, over the past 7 days I have had to call the roadside assist out twice due to errors appearing. When entering the car I received the error message saying brake assist error do not park on a slope, then followed by brake servo error and then what seemed to be all other error messages under the sun. No drive could be selected. The road side assistant on the first visit discounted the 12v battery to restart the car which seemed to clear the system and allow me to drive home. When it happened again last night the AA tried the same trick but it would not clear, the car has been recovered to the dealer today to look at hopefully in the next few days. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Cheers

I’ve had the parking brake jam on once after some heavy braking but not that - sorry.

Not seen that before. Not parking on any kind of slope I guess is a worry. I had a handbrake problem on a car a few years ago and had to wedge it against jerbs.
Hope its sorted soon.

I really hope it’s not a problem parking on a slope, my driveway is precipitous to put it mildly 😬

Mine's been parked on a slope every day for 7 months and not seen any issues. This sounds like it's an actual fault.

After a week at the dealers I am collecting my car tomorrow. They advised that issue was caused due to a faulty/loose fuse, I just hope they are right!

All that technology and a loose fuse is the weakest link!!!! Hmmm. I hope it all goes ok now.
