Some Dodge Charger owners report experiencing issues with brakes staying applied after use, accompanied by an auto park disabled warning. These problems can be triggered by various factors, including the brake warning light illuminating due to excessive brake pad wear, low brake fluid levels, or leaks in the brake system. Additionally, if the parking brake handle is not fully down, it may keep the brake warning light on, indicating a potential issue with the parking brake system. While the auto park feature cannot be permanently deactivated for safety reasons, it can be temporarily disabled, which some owners find necessary. Furthermore, if the parking brake is applied while the transmission is in gear, the Brake Warning Light will flash, and a chime will sound, alerting drivers to fully release the parking brake before moving. Persistent issues such as brake lights remaining on and the auto park disabled light blinking may indicate deeper problems that need addressing. Owners are advised to check the parking brake handle, verify brake fluid levels, and inspect for leaks, and if these steps do not resolve the issue, consulting a qualified mechanic or dealership is recommended.
