Mitsubishi Outlander parking brake release issue on Mitsubishi Outlander

Some Mitsubishi Outlander owners report experiencing issues with the electronic parking brake system, such as difficulty in releasing the brake. They note that if the parking brake feels easy to press initially but becomes harder toward the end of its travel, it may indicate that the brake is stuck. In instances where the usual process of pressing the brake pedal and the release switch fails, the problem could stem from the switch, module, or calipers. Additionally, some owners find that rusting and seizing rear calipers can cause malfunctions, particularly when the brake is applied. The appearance of a "parking brake service required" warning message often points to problems with the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system, which, while designed for convenience, can encounter electrical issues. For troubleshooting, it is recommended that owners consult their owner's manual for model-specific guidance and seek professional assistance if the problem persists.
