Many (all?) cars today require you have your foot on the brake when you take the car out of park. This is to prevent someone, maybe a child, from putting the car into gear inadvertently.

You may need to have the brakeline bled (drained of brake fluid) and add new brake fluid while making sure brakeline is air free. This is usually done by pumping the brake until the pedal becomes appropriately firm . Hope this helps .

Does my vehicle need rear break repair?

If your brakes are making a squeaking or a grinding noise when you are coming to a stop this is usually an indicator that your brake pads need to be replaced. Also, another sign that your brakes need to be replaced would be if your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor when pressed and it seems to be taking longer to stop.

Brake lights will not go out?

Try checking the brake light on / off switch. (BOO switch) It's behind the brake pedal, perhaps it's stuck or need replacement. Also, make sure the problem isn't that your brake pedal is so low that it won't come off the switch, if it is then either your brake booster is shot, or you need a pedal adjustment or other brake work.
