@stevebuchanan posted:I did a low speed test of the electronic parking brake in my 2022 Subaru. At about 15 MPH, I put the car in neutral and tried to engage the brake and it did nothing. I read somewhere if you keep holding it then it will engage. When I did so the parking brake did engage and the anti-lock system came to life immediately. It was not a pleasant braking experience and I immediately released the brake. Panteras do not have anti-lock brakes and that means the rear brakes will simply lock up if the Wilwood parking brake is engaged while driving.
Yup… as far as I know all cars with the electric parking brake will use ALL brakes and the ABS when applied during driving!
NOT just the rear! There is a variation between carmakers how brutal the brakes will get applied (some even turn on the hazards) but in principle they all do the same! And it makes sense… just applying the rear brakes harsh by using a button and not being able to control the braking force manually will make the car swap ends rather quickly!
especially with the engine in the back!
I went with the Wilwood manual parking brake… because…. Shit happens!
