2014 C300 4Matic Parking Brake Warning turns on randomly
Hello.. this has happened to me like 3 times so far. I park my car without applying the parking brakes. When I start the car and i see the Flashing sign Warning saying Parking Brake on... Than I have pull press the Parking brake and release it again.. Kinda a strange..
I am 100% sure I never applied the parking brake in the first place. Why am i getting this warning ?
My car is still under warranty. Should i get it checked out asap ? Has this happened to anyone before ? Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

The point at which the warning light for the parking brake activates is not very far in at all. You can test this for yourself by pressing the parking brake slowly and lightly until the light turns on.
With the foot grazing thing what happens is even just lightly touching the parking brake causes it to engage a tiny amount and if this happens enough it eventually reaches the point at which the light comes on.
