Epb shift interlock function activated message on the dashboard briefly before start-up. This has occurred even though the car hasn't had any issues before.

Service Brakes problem #2

M car was towed to Toyota because my automatic parking brake failed to release. No warning lights nor any indication my battery was low. It licked my rear wheels so I could not drive. (thank god I was not in a fire zone requiring evacuation!) there are no manual release for the emergency brake to use in an emergency to flee an area. They said my battery was not carrying the load, and replaced it. This is a very serious safety issue! what if it was a Sunday and Toyota closed?? most repair shops are closed on sundays! I’m [xxx] and [xxx]. Please advise Toyota to add or retrofit a manual parking brake release to resolve this issue. And…. Check to make sure their analysis was correct that my battery was too low! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
