2021 Vauxhall Grandland X electric park brake fails on reverse up hill
Year: 2021
Variant: Petrol
Categories:
Engine & DrivetrainGearbox & Clutch
I hired this car it was brand new, I had parked on a hill with another car parked in front.
We had put a lot of bags in the boot and had 3 people in the car. On reversing the "Electronic" hand brake (on a car that has manual gears) failed and we got closer and closer each time to the car in front. Only after gunning the engine which seemed to be rev limited did it "just" get enough power to reverse and hold the brake. Very scary car should be banned.

Whether it was the car or you as a driver that , in your opinion , makes it " dangerous " is highly contentious . Especially with some of the statements you have made which are , quite frankly , laughable . I will not reply or get involved with you on these concerns but will say , I have no opinion on whether it is a good or bad car and none of the issues you have raised have resulted in recalls which would have happened if " dangerous " .Why did you not return the car and change it for another ? This is a forum for helping people with car problems , not a platform for you to vent your frustrations , so would appreciate it if you daily rants will cease . You would be better going to one of the many Vauxhall forums where they may / may not welcome your input . Hope you have a Happy New Year and safe motoring .
