Risked my life today with the 8C, wheels locked down on a major road while going approx 40 mph, was lucky that in that moment no car was coming in the opposite direction.
Couldn't get the car to move, even after putting it in Neutral and removing the parking brake...
2 State Police cars arrived immediately after I called 911 and were able to isolate the car and direct traffic, the officers were extremely nice and helpfull, +1 for state police.
Roadside assitance arrived after more than 2hrs after I got an eta of less than 1hr... Extremely bad service for the Ferrari-Maserati-Alfa assistance center...
Luckily nobody was close behind aswell otherwise that could have been bad, especially the size of the truck's over there at least you (and sort of the car) are ok though :thumbs:
I've heard about a prototype having the same problem. Not sure, in that case, if it was due to the transmission or the parking brake. Did the electric parking brake actuator work as usual, or was it stuck? Did you try manually unlocking it?
It's not the parking brake, cause the car worked fine, happened about 15 min into driving. Once the car broke the brake worked perfectly, I could put it on and off as usual, I guess its a transmission problem.
However, having said so, it is an extremely serious issue.
Well at least Alfa service seems to be standardized worldwide then...consistently bad :cheese:
