The issue I’m having is that the break red light in the orange brake system just appears randomly without me activating the break. on one occasion I parked the car without seeing any of those signals, then upon me coming out of the store, both signals appeared on the dashboard. my car was stuck in break four hours.

After parking in my driveway, placing the parking brake on, turning the engine off and existing the vehicle, my parking brake gave out about 15 minutes later. My car rolled down my short driveway. Fortunately, I was close by, hopped in the moving car as it reached my street and manually pushed down the brake.
