Handbrake 'Fail' Advice
Hi,
I have a 2015 Mazda 3, brought 2 weeks a go from a Bristol Street Motors dealer.
Whilst parked on a friends driveway I've had what I believe to be a handbrake failure which has resulted in a dent to the back bumper.
I have rang the dealer who will assess the handbrake and if there is a fault they will repair the bumper. If they find no fault I will obviously need to foot the bill. Does anyone know roughly how much this would be? The car is white and has reversing sensors.
With regards to the handbrake, the driveway is only on a sligh slope which holds my friends Fiesta (2007) on 2 clicks of his handbrake. I have since tested the Mazda and it is taking 6 clicks before the car stops rolling. Does this sound correct to anyone? As I've said, it's only a sligh slope and the handbrake would onyl go up one more click once it had rolled down the drive initially.
Any advice on this would be great.
Cheers.
