Our 2022 is less than a month old and we just had an incident. The car decided not to move after I waited behind a van at the traffic light. When I put the car in "D" again and stepped on the gas, the car jerked and then just halted. I then saw this yellow warning light pop up.

The car got back to normal after I rebooted the car.
After I drove the car back home, the red warning message "Parking brake not available, Vehicle could roll away" showed up as soon as I pressed "P." When I turned off the power, the message was still there. It went away after I switched the power back on and off.

So, has anyone experienced this? Taycan is a good car and all, but it is getting very annoying and worrisome. We were on the left lane at a very busy intersection, and it took me almost a minute to get the car to move again. Thanks.

Why would you not always keep the car in D (doesn't explain the errors you had) - just press on the brake pedal to engage hold?

The car was in "D" but it did not move when I stepped on the accelerator. I then put the car back in P and then D again. The car jerked and then halted when I stepped on the pedal.

The yellow light appears on my MY22 when PID sensors get dirty and needs cleaning.
