Consumer Description

The electronic parking brake does not automatically engage, even when the circumstances described in the owner's manual apply. This could cause some cars to be improperly secured, if drivers expect the parking brake to apply automatically but it does not. I don't think this is an issue with my car specifically as many others on the Internet have reported similar issues. See for example https://www.reddit.com/r/leaf/comments/oxzrne/how_does_the_electric_parking_brake_work/ This problem seems to be pervasive enough that many owners concluded their car simply does not have this feature, despite it being clearly described in the owner manual.
