It's Sunday, and I'm in a parking lot. My 2019 Ascent is not starting. Cranks, but no bueno. I figure it's a fuel pump problem, as my dealership (Bob Baker in Carlsbad CA) just did the fuel pump recall two days ago

I had thought that the other dealer did that recall in December (when I got rear ended and the body shop sent it over to a local dealer to finish up), but I figured they all know what has been done, and maybe this is a new fuel pump fixit.
Anyway, AAA arrives, but the guy can't get the parking brake to disengage. Me, I've never tried to take the brake off without the engine running. I try all sorts of sequences, and even pushed AVH on/off, nothing. The parking brake will not disengage. I look in the manual. When I read "If your parking brake cannot be released... contact your Subaru dealer and have them release your parking brake", I tell the AAA guy to have a nice day and he leaves.
I call Subaru Roadside Assistance. They have no idea how to release the parking brake. Now the Subaru-beckoned tow driver is on his way... I think (haven't heard a peep since AAA left).
Was loving this car, but if my dealership screwed me, I'm dropping Subaru altogether. Competent dealerships are part of the deal.
I sure had better things to do today than to wait for two tows.
By the way, when I search for "tow problem parking brake" in this forum, all I get are trailer posts. Interesting yes. But helpful, not right now. We need a different key word.
