My eBrake also malfunctioned. I was going to head to work and could not drive away. I used the orange handle to pull the brake release cable and was able to drive away.

One note.... You have to keep pulling till you CLEARLY hear the clunk when it releases. I did not pull hard enough and it was frustrating. Thought I was going to break it.

Drove it to the dealer and they replaced some defective module. Runs fine now....
