2012 E350 Keyless-Go/Brake in Cold Weather
For past a few weeks it was very cold here in Northeast.
On one of the morning, I tried to start the car but the Brake Pedal couldn't be depressed, i.e. very hard and didn't use excessive force. I pushed the start/stop button a few times, display turns of and off and no abnormal messages.
After a while, somehow I was able to depress the Brake Pedal and start the car.
Is this brake-pedal-lock expected in cold weather (say freezing point) ?
Also, on one of morning I felt that it took a few times to start the car (was able to depress brake pedal, but the car doesn't start right away after you push the button).
Thanks a lot !
