  1. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Unfortunately someone changed the topic. The driveway was not icy (I walked up it in sneakers ). Boston ran out of salt awhile ago and my son hasn’t had any issues this winter, and neither did I the entire week I was driving while he was unable to.
  2. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    So final answer: (unfortunately someone retitled my topic which took people off on tangents) Nothing wrong with the truck, tires are under inflated (by son didn’t know that he should go by the door sticker vs what the truck was telling him so they were 32 psi) . His tires have 10,000 miles...
  3. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Yes, we had snow early Sunday to midday when the temps were upper 30s (38, 39) and rain turned to light rain at the time of the incident. No tire lights were on for the short trip I made Sunday afternoon. Probably never really know what happened and just replacing everything that could have...
  4. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    The display was very clear showing all 4 tires and their pressures. He said it had happened once a few days earlier. Maybe colder (but I think it was just as cold during the last few weeks). Why all 4 tires were low the next morning is just crazy. I guess they can see when these sensors come...
  5. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Us too. Dealer says when they picked it up all 4 tires had low pressure. No lights were on when I was coming home from the store. Driver side rear had been at 28 the night of my son’s surgery so I inflated it (at 10 pm) and the lights never came back on . . . may just be cursed
  6. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    I have lived in snow country for decades (Syracuse, Buffalo, Central Oregon). One question I had was when that person jumped back into his truck and hit the brakes, why did he stop? We have all hit black ice (I did a 180 in a toyota vehicle off I 90 near Utica NY once and drove away from it)...
  7. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Wasn’t reversing
  8. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Dealership came and got the truck first thing Monday morning . Had not looked at it as of yesterday. We ordered the No did not happen in the garage: my son is post op from major surgery so not supposed to be outside and the truck won’t fit in his garage anyway
  9. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    But it was upper 30s and a light rain. Not a solid sheet of ice. And my son has been parking in the same spot all winter
  10. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Regardless of the diagnostics and resolution of this issue I am buying parking blocks ($44 at Home depot for a pair) and maybe melting mats. It may be something as simple as new snow tires, but owners need to be aware and develop their own plan. I have a family member who works for Ford...
  11. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    This would be great information for people living in these climates. Since in our case, the truck rolled back into the street in the direction that it came from vs sliding straight across to the neighbors driveway where they part their car at the very edge of the street . During the second...
  12. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Yup, both times. If it hadn’t been in Park it would not have stayed in place at all.
  13. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Yes, I am dyslexic so always go by the display
  14. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    No, in fact his garage is so small I have difficulty getting my Forester in it.
  15. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    I definitely engaged the parking brake and saw the brake on displayed as I do every time I park this and any vehicle. It is a habit.
  16. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    Yesterday I returned from the grocery store and parked my son’s truck in the usual spot and plugged it in. By the time I got back in front of the vehicle to get groceries out of the passenger side the truck began rolling back into the street. The charger pulled out of the port (connector is...
