I have an '09 XC70 D5 AWD with an EPB and although it works fine every time I've used it I confess to being a little nervous about it releasing, no problems so far however.
It doesn't take much to imagine being in a queue of traffic with a stuck parking brake. I use the EPB only when really necessary, like on hills for a protracted time, otherwise it's into neutral or very occasionally P. Parking up is fine I think as long as the car is released very gently in the Park position and the hill isn't very steep.
Are we saying that if the brake sticks that it will free off if driven against?
