So today after stopping to get coffee the damn parking brake wouldn't release. After multiple drives and multiple starting and turning off then starting it still isnt working. As long as my seatbelt is connected it WILL release if I start to take off. When I turn the car off after a couple seconds the parking brake automatically sets itself.
All this being said, I WAS in a minor accident a week ago. I was rear ended on the interstate while stopped in traffic. Rear end damage is the bumper cover, bumper support (I imagine) and the trunk lid has a small dent. The damage is all on the driver side. Total initial estimate is under $3000, so not major.
Could a rear end hit like this cause an issue with the parking brake?
Yesterday the damn entertainment screen wigged out and went dark. After trying to power off I shut the car off then restarted and after a couple minutes the screen cam back on and everything worked as normal.
Lastly, last July I was in an accident on the same interstate. That time I rear ended someone. Totally my fault. Substantial front end damage. Basically the whole front end got replaced including the core support. Wastegate actuator got smooshed so the turbo got replaced. Passenger motor mount got broken as well as passenger cv shaft boot got torn. Basically the whole front end but ZERO frame damage. I hadnt had any issues of any kind after the 1st accident so I don't think the current issues are related to the 1st accident.
SO, do you all think my current issues are related to this recent accident or are they separate stand alone coincidental issues.
The car is out of the factory warranty BUT I did buy the extended warranty from Carmax when i bought the car.
