My car is always parked on the road and i live on a hill... got into my car today, put car in gear handbrake off and my car wouldnt move....anyone had any problems??
I mentioned it to my stepdad and he said that it can happen but i wouldn't expect it to happen on a 12 month old car

How regularly do you use the car? Mine sticks on sometimes if it's been left for a while or if it was just washed... just give it a bit more power and it'll free off no problem.

Mine has hill assist and the dealer didn't mention it to me, it will stick for about 2-3 seconds and then you will roll
I thought mine was a sticky handbrake but you can feel the hold if you push the brake pedal down
