NHTSA Complaint #11505346 — 2016 MAZDA CX-5

My EPB or Electronic Parking Brake started to Malfunction. It will lock up during parking, and driving and stay locked. It will flash Malfunction light, and the Parking Brake light on the dash will come on, and off. Sometimes If I turn off the vehicle for a while, it will again function. I have not been driving this vehicle, because of the issue I am very scarred my brakes will lock up when it is icy or wet, or slick, and I will injure myself or others Unintentionally. when I first had this issue, I decided to do research, and it seems to be a very common problem across all 2016 model Mazda Cx-5 with EBP. I suspect the EBP module is defective, and I cannot afford to pay the dealer 1500 to replace this part to correct the Safety Hazard Mazda originally created. This should never happen to me or the countless others whom own the 2016 model with EBP. A quick google search will result in countless claims of this same issue with the 2016 model.
