In event of main brake failure, parking brake cannot be manually engaged as a secondary braking system due to introduction of electric parking brake requiring vehicle to be stopped to engage parking brake. This could result in fatality in the event of main brake failure. (fyi. I recently had a brake hose fail on a '99 chevy pickup truck when approaching an intersection. Using the manual parking brake I was able to safely stop the vehicle and avoid a collision. This is not possible with electric parking brake the way it is implemented on 2017 Ford vehicles. ).
