Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Well if you want my opinion, whether its an automatic or a manual transmission, its prudent to put the emergency (parking) brake on all the time. I think putting added stress on the teeth of gears to hold a vehicle in position is not a smart move.
The option was given for a reason, people should use it.
From what I have read, the solution is a software update to apply the emergency brake automatically when putting the car in park without having to touch the button. So they are making it idiot proof.
Lastly, when you apply it, once you put the car in any gear, the brake automatically releases so it takes the effort out of manually doing it. Seems so simple to me.

I would say 9/10 people driving 2020 + cars are not putting the E brake on. The last time I put a E brake on was when I drove a manual back in the early 2000's lol. I don't even know how to put the E brake on in the new telluride.

Every single car manual tells you to apply the parking brake when parking and leaving the car. All of them. Repeated many times throughout.
You pull up the parking brake switch on the center console to apply the parking brake, ideally while pushing the brake pedal so the car doesn’t move. It’ll automatically disengage when you shift back into gear. But you can also disengage it by pushing the switch down while holding the brake pedal.
Yes, the Parking brake. You don't need to put the E Brake on for any reason ever really though.

Uh, did you read the notice? The patch is interim for the estimated 1% affected vehicles. Then, if you read more, the part numbers are listed for replacement if needed.

A lot of people seem to use the terms interchangeably (probably because they use the same control…).
In an emergency situation, you would pull up and hold the electronic parking brake switch until the car comes to a stop.

At most, 16 cases of the damaged part have been noted in over five years, out of 427,407 cars, with no crashes, damage, or injuries as a result. It would be nonsensical to replace the part in every car when this easy of a remedy can be performed. In the very rare case the affected part is actually damaged, it will be replaced.
no idea. Is a bit scary.

Why didn’t the car always automatically do parking brake when in P. There is literally no circumstance where you would not want this to happen.

I have to check mine on my next drive but I believe my 2022 automatically engages the parking brake when set the transmission to Park and shut off the engine.

It currently only automatically engages the parking brake if you had the auto hold system on when you turn the car off.
absolutely 0% of people will do this in an emergency situation...a handle, yes...a button, no
in older cars when they had e-brake handles actuated by cables they could freeze...being in that habit i still typically only use the parking brake on an incline or when i put it on ramps/jack...if your car is rolling away either you have a manual without the brake engaged or the car has issues...never heard of an automatic rolling away otherwise

Hopefully no one will be in an emergency situation and need to do this. If they are, then hopefully they’re smart enough to have actually read their manual (or have read this discussion).

def good to know...all i am saying is in a high stress situation fine motor skills go first...gross motor skills may be all you have which is why a handle e-brake is a better option to have over a button you have to pull

So mine does automatically set its parking brake after driving then putting transmission to park. I don't use auto hold too. I noticed this before because I always set the E brake when parking, something I acquired while driving a manual car.
