New issue today
2023 F250 lariat 4x4 club, 7.3, 3000 miles . 2 weeks ago Engine light came in brought it in and its an O2 sensor, parts not available since its so new. Dealer says okay to drive. today leaving church normal start up routine, Start truck, let warm put in drive , realize parking brake but no. brake doesn't release. try backing up, nothing. shut it down try again same issue. shut it down and wait a few minutes , I get a warning parking brake issue get serviced asap.now with a 2nd engine light. A lightening bolt, which when I get home and look up the manual it is indeed get the e brake looked at. so of course its Sunday and tomorrow is Christmas , so hopefully dealer will be open on Tuesday with a loaner.

I never use the e-brake unless it is warranted.
Needless use of it especially in cold freezing temps is not the best idea.

society has pushed the current and upcoming generations so far away from any sort of work that involves using our hands that I guess it’s impossible to have good mechanics in the numbers we need them.
Youre such a deterrent to open conversation I’m surprised they haven’t gotten rid of you yet for dragging every conversation into the dirt.

Yeah, they don't care. My transmission is leaking and no one could get me in for weeks for diagnosis so I told them I cant stop driving it because Ford builds so many problem vehicles the dealerships are booked out for weeks. If it blows up they will just let the tow company drop it off in the lot until they can get to it. The customer is an inconvenience nowadays.

I always use mine because I often parking on slight inclines that otherwise cause the truck to come to rest against the parking pawl, the transmission makes a ruckus when I take take out of park the next time I move. this is more exacerbated when I have a trailer hooked up.

Got my tuck back 1 week ago from the 2 week inconvenience for getting another oil pan, and an oil cooler due to them leaving a tool under it and smashing the pan and cooler from driveshaft yoke.
Guess what, check the fluids yesterday it had no coolant in it. They forgot to top off the coolant when they changed the oil cooler.
my mistake for not checking it before I left. Should have learned.
