So I'm bumping up this old thread of mine, even though another similar one has been active in the meantime... This time, I'm rather seriously worried though
True - my car has spent the winter mostly sitting in the garage. Not because of to much snow, too cold or anything weather-related; I just didn't have to drive but instead was very busy (I'm working from my home office). Some 2 weeks ago I gave my car a good wash, and - after just a short trip - put it to the garage again. Today I started the engine normally, put the car on R, and released the brake pedal...
Nothing. The car was stationary. I stopped the engine and started it again; tried to reverse from the garage: still no move...
I got nervous, as I had a business appointment. Restarted the engine again, and this time not only released the brakes (while in reverse), but also pressed the gas pedal slightly. It felt like the car wanted to move, but was blocked by something... So I decided to press the gas harder - and after a loud "bang", it reversed normally as if nothing was wrong!
No error codes, nothing. Only my rotors look more rusty than ever... Could it be my handbrake getting stuck on the rear rotors?
Scary... What do you think guys?
