Manual transmission vehicle.  The electric parking brake can automatically release when letting the clutch out with the vehicle in neutral if the brake and gas were recently touched.  This YouTube video clearly describes the problem: [XXX]   This can present a roll away hazard when leaving the vehicle parked with the engine running.  With the vehicle in neutral, clutch in, foot on brake, engage the emergency brake, let off the foot brake, touch the throttle, then let off the clutch with the vehicle still in neutral and the emergency brake will release automatically and the vehicle will start rolling away with no feet on any pedals.  It appears the vehicle is trying to auto release the parking brake as if you were going to drive away, but the vehicle knows it is in neutral not in 1 or R so this should not occur.  The timeout for brake and then throttle though is very long.  This dangerous behavior has caused my vehicle to roll away after I shut the engine off on multiple occasions.  luckily I noticed before I had exited the vehicle and was able to re-engage the parking brake.  There may be other circumstances that trigger this automatic release as well, I'm not sure, but I am always concerned that the brake may turn itself off and my car may roll away.
