Brake hold reliability

I believe the timeout is 3 minutes, if you don't touch the brake when it asks you to at the timeout it will apply the parking brake. If the car should start to move or creep forward it should automatically add braking force to immediately bring the car back to a stop without driver intervention. The car will automatically apply the parking brake if you remove your seatbelt or open the drivers door while it is activated and you don't respond quick enough to manually pressing the brake when it asks you to.
With all of that in mind I think it works very well and I have never had an issue. I use it daily.

The only issue I have had and this has only occured once is one time while on hold it seemed to no want to accelerate. I had a brake hold malfunction pop up on the mid display. Shuffling the car between drive and park seemed to solve it. It was in my 07' and I should mention if "hold" is initiated long enough the parking brake will become activated which you need to manually remove to proceed.
