The vehicle was parked in a flat parking lot and the parking brake failed. The first time, the parked car rolled backwards and hit a sign. No person was injured. I thought that perhaps the pedal was not fully depressed. The second time, about 3 weeks later, the vehicle rolled backwards and hit another vehicle. I had to call the insurance company and file a claim. I intend on bringing the car to the dealership,…
