Brake Loud Noise Problems of Hyundai Genesis

Emergency parking brake suddenly activates without touching any controls. Epb light appears on the dashboard. When car is placed in park, epb light goes off but epb is still engaged. Epb light reappears when car is placed in drive and epb is still engaged. Turning off engine and restarting does not solve the problem. Only way to solve the problem is to place the transmission in drive and floor the accelerator. Epb makes loud noise and there is significant resistance from the epb but the epb finally disengages and car drives normally. Smell is present from the epb system and resultant examination of system shows flaking of pad from heat caused by procedure. Dealer has been informed of problem since 2013 but says it can do nothing because it cannot replicate the problem. Diagnostic shows three codes dealing with epb system but dealer says codes are "general" in nature and do not pinpoint the problem. Says nothing can be done until problem is replicated in presence of dealer. Failure has thus far only occurred when vehicle is stopped but my fear is that it will happen when the vehicle is moving. Putting pressure on the brake pedal and attempting to disengage the epb using the epb tab for "engage/disengage" does not work. Date given below is the latest occurrence. Problem has existed on and off for more than three years. Problem occurs randomly and intermediately. Vehicle left with dealer on three separate occasions but dealer could not get problem to occur and will not make repairs because of this.
