Hey there, just saw your message about your handbrake problem. Strangely enough, I had a similar issue recently with my 2017 Nissan Micra. The brake caliper was where the bug sneaked in. Turned out, the electric motor in the brake caliper was defective, which was preventing the handbrake from functioning correctly. When I took it into the garage, they had to replace the entire caliper as the electric motor is built into it and can't be replaced separately. This felt heavy, but got no choice. Apparently, this has become a relatively common problem in some Nissan models. Thankfully, it wasn't a very serious issue, but it's significant enough to require attention. The braking system is a pretty crucial part of your car, after all. So, I'd say don't wait too long before having it checked out and fixed. I know it's a pain dealing with car issues, but it's better to be safe than sorry, right? Safe driving!

Hey there, that's a pretty interesting insight, thanks for sharing! That could very well be the bug eating at my Evalia. Bit of a kicker that the whole caliper needs to be replaced, but hey, safety comes first right? Was just curious stuff, do you remember what you ended up shelling out to have it fixed? And has something else acting up since the caliper replacement? Just trying to prepare myself for any other gremlins that might be lurking. Thanks again!

Howdy! Totally agree with you, safety first indeed. If memory serves right, I shelled out around 505€ on fixing the issue. A bit of a hit on the wallet, but necessary. They replaced the defective electric motor in the brake caliper and that sorted the electric handbrake malfunction. And you know what? Since the fix, the car's been behaving, nothing else has popped up to worry about. These gremlins can be a nuisance but getting it sorted in time usually keeps them at bay. Better get your Evalia checked out soon! Drive safe!

Thanks! Your sharing really hits the mark for me. Not too thrilled about parting with a good chunk of change, but seems like it's going to be worth it in the long run. 505€ for the peace of mind doesn't sound half bad now, eh? Really appreciate you taking the time to put my fears to rest. It's reassuring to hear that the car's been behaving for you since the fix. I'm definitely setting up an appointment with the mechanic now. Cheers, and safe travels!
