I am new to this forum, but I sought it out hoping someone could shed some light on a problem I am having.
I have a 2004 Titan LE and once in a while, not often, but enough to be worriesome, my emergency break will randomly engage. It usually happens shortly after I start driving from a cold start up. It does not matter if the emergency brake was on while it was parked or not. When I start driving, usually after the first 10 or 20 feet, the E-brake engages making a horrible noise. The light comes on however the brake peddle is not down and does not disengage when you stop and put it down to disengage. The only way it resets itself is to shut the truck off and start it back up. Then it is suddenly fine like it never happened. I have taken it to the shop and they say since it does not happen to them they don't know what is causing it. It is a very random thing and can happen in any temperature or weather. I am afraid one day it will decide to do it on the highway or something then I will be SOL. So far it has only done it shortly after starting to drive but you never know.
Has anyone ever had this happen to them or am I just Special like that?
Any insights would be helpful since the mechanics are at a loss and now it is out of warranty.
Thanks:eh:
