Have had several instances in the last ten months of the electric handbrake not releasing when pulling away from stationery, also some occasions when it released only to apply again instantly when pulling away.

Local dealer has looked twice at this, once under warranty and once included in service, nothing found wrong and nothing on log.

VW informed and not even a reply, to something that is potentially dangerous.
