My 2013 Freelander2 is causing grief. The hill start assist or auto release handbrake refuses to release. it is an intermittent fault. It will always release if you reverse. I have had the" linkage " ie. motors and calipers cleaned and lubricated by the dealer but to no avail. Today the ABS decided to stop the vehicle just after I had pulled away from a junction. It happened twice and nearly had the car behind run into me.
Any one out there had problems of this kind??
I think it is the ABS/ hand brake module but no fault codes are found.

Not saying it is BUT

Have you checked your earth strap (plenty of posts on here) and /or your battery condition?

Reason I suggest those is that in my experience the control modules are VERY susceptible to voltage fluctuations and the strangest symptoms occur which rarely show up on diagnostics

Used to get this sort of thing on the Jag - might just be worth a look before you go spending a fortune on control modules

Keep ur posted and good luck with sorting it out  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

Get parking brake module reset. Dealers have done mine twice. Had intermittent issue similar to you but mainly in reverse.

Thanks for the info. Have checked bat volt and earthing.
It is going to the dealer This week so will try and get them to sort the module.

Well, after three weeks in the dealer it now seems to be repaired. After a lot of testing requested by land rover , a new module that did not cure the fault, it turned out to be the 1st gear switch on the gear box that was not sending a signal to the module to tell it that first gear was selected.
