    how can you release the electronic brake when it won't release ?

  • Anonymous Mar 27, 2014

    Have 2007 vw passat with emergency brake light on and a constant beeping. Son was driving the car when this happened. He pushed the brake light button in when he stopped the car. When he got back in and pushed the button off the light started blinking and there was a constant beeping that won't stop. He drives the car 125 miles per day to school. The constant beeping is almost unbearable. Can you tell us what to do to correct the problem?
