What is the 2019 Honda Civic brake problem?

I have a 2019 Honda Civic and there have been a couple of instances where my car won’t start. My friend told me to look into the brake problem. What are they talking about?

The 2019 Honda Civic brake problem is where the vehicle will beep and display “ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM.” You may also see the “BRAKE” and “BRAKE SYSTEM” lights illuminated on the console. Generally, the error will clear on its own, but it may return later.
There are three common reasons for this problem:
    1. Dirty console parking brake button or switch (the most common problem)
    1. Damaged or bad caliper parking brake servo motor
    1. Faulty wiring
If the error occurs frequently, you’ll want to troubleshoot. The issue usually results from grit and dirt in the parking brake switch, but the wiring and motor can also be problematic. If you’re not familiar with cars, book an appointment with your mechanic to have it looked at.
Although the brake system on a 2019 Civic is still under warranty and won’t require money from your pocket, other car troubles can. To
save money on car expenses
, keep up with a regular maintenance schedule (including cleaning the interior of your vehicle) and invest in a solid
car insurance
policy to protect it on the road.
