Just curious if anyone else has experienced this problem. Three days ago, I got in my two year old Air Touring to return from a restaurant when I saw the following error: "Parking Brake Malfunction: Vehicle may roll. Park in Flatter Area". This remained for about five seconds and then was replaced by "Parking Brake Fault: Contact Customer Care". I was still able to drive the car and I was about one mile from home so I went ahead. During the drive, these two errors would each pop up for 5 seconds then disappear with no error also lasting for about 5 seconds at a time. When I got home, I smelled a burning odor when I exited the car (I had been running the heater but I think it was more than that). I also noticed that the car won't remain in Hold mode. If I choose it while parked, it will default back to Roll in about one second. I have also noticed that when moving the car in and out of my garage, a yellow "PARK" will flash adjacent to the "D". The owner's manual states this indicates a fault with the Parking Brake.
I've called Customer Care and I'm waiting to hear back. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this problem.
Thanks
