When my parking brake failed I took it to the dealer. They reset it and when I asked why it happened and did it happen often the SA said it was the first they had ever seen and they had no idea what caused the failure. BS.

I had my 2nd parking brake malfunction in 2 months. Now, the SAV is in the dealership and still waiting an update. In the first work, they replaced a so-called "actuator" and told me they also re-set the computer (software update). If you will ask me how it happened, well I just drop off my wife to work and drive a few meters to stop in a curb as my little son on the rear wants me to fix his DVD movie. When I got off the SAV to attend to my son in the rear seat, I kept the engine running but of course I used te parking brake. I remembered switching the portable DVD adaptor into the cigarette lighter port and alas...there goes the parking brake malfunction again.

^ the cause has been documented here... until they actually apply the fix in the latest (March '08) software update (and it hasn't been confirmed by anyone here), do NOT set your parking brake (lever) while the engine is still running. Turn it off, then apply. It shouldn't occur if you do this (workaround) in the meantime.

Using the parking brake all the time will eliminate the rust builtup (from snow, rain etc) inside the casing. The movement of the cable by using the parking brake is also the cleaning motion as well. Just using the parking brake once in a blue moon is almost guaranteed the parking brake will seize on you.

I bought one of the first 2007 E70s, hence no AUTO H. If this problem with the parking brake ever gets fixed....can I use it in lieu of AUTO H?

Parking brake fixed!!
I just received the latest software update (E070-08-05-520) that finally fixed the parking brake bug. My SAV was in the dealership 3 times since March because of fault code 6032 due to jammed parking brake. I hope that this one is the real fix.
