While driving on the freeway, the car came to a sudden stop in the fast line. I tried multiple things. . . . . Moving it in and out of gear, and flipping the parking brake switch off and on. After maybe a minutes, the brakes unlocked and I was able to move the car over to the shoulder. There was not warning, the car just stopped. I have just recently had the car inspected, 50,000 mile service. No issues were detected by the service group. The service dept at vw diagnosed the problem as being a short in the emergency parking brake. Thankfully we were not hit. Am very concerned someone else won't be as lucky.
Parking brake locks up and renders vehicle immobile- has occurred twice and parking switch has been replaced three times.
