Is anyone else having Parking brake malfunction issues? My indicator turned on yesterday and after I parked, it automatically engaged the parking brake. When I got back on and tried to leave it wouldn't let me disengage it. I had to have it towed to the dealership.

Mine works just fine on my 2023. Maybe they just need to reprogram the parking brake.

Turns out that it's the ABS module.

That’s a first for me about hearing that issue on a 2023.
Thanks for the update.

Very upset.............The dealership installed an ABS module and booster but the vehicle has been at the shop for 3 weeks waiting on Engineer's to create software to calibrate the module. The dealership's techs have contacted Ford but Ford has not responded. Anyone have any idea how I can contact Engineering and not customer service? I'm sick and tired of hearing "there are no updates on your case"

That's a load of poo
There is a procedure to purge and bleed the abs system..it's in the shop manual and a laptop. Definitely call 1 800 ford and raise some level of concern.
There is also a software load for abs system
Somebody is playing hard to get, or they are dragging out a warrant claim, because they used up the hours ford Wil pay.

UPDATE: Vehicle still remains at the dealership. The service advisor and the service manager have no reply from Ford engineering on the software to calibrate the ABS module. This is RIDICULOUS!!!!! I have tried every avenue to get a hold of someone at Ford other than customer service but I have been totally unsuccessful. Does anyone have any contact numbers I can try?
