parking brake does not hold in backward motion

[mediaspacetj]

That's interesting my Aurion Touring is the same. When we first got the car (new) every so often we'd back out of the driveway forgetting to take the park brake off. You can reverse fine. It doesn't like going forwards tho! We're just on due for the 15K service. Was going to mention it to the dealership.

I think it's unrelated, but we always get a soft thump in the rear of the car, sounds like something clicking into place. This happens EVERY time we reverse out of our driveway and put it in drive and move off.

Still, interesting so many people's park brakes don't appear to work in the reverse direction.

I have this problem too any news of the best fix?

Give me a hand or electronically operated park brake any day!!! My other ride automatically engages the park brake when I shift to P and automatically disengages the park brake when I start taking off in D. Even has auto/hill hold assist.

I'm sooooo over foot operated park brakes. Especially when they're designed poorly. My Presara creeps backwards if I'm parked on an incline so I really have to literally STOMP on the park brake to its maximum extent before it would "just" hold enough not to roll back.

Sounds like a pretty common gripe, if ya ask me.

Adjusted my foot brake today after not holding reverse, now 2-3 clicks and car does not move in either direction very solid.
