You might have your dealer check that out, too, since you are pushing down all the way and the vehicle is still moving. It may be just a simple adjustment.
Same here, unless the park brake holds the car, at idle, it will not pass the annual inspection. We have to have our vehicle inspected each year here in Nova Scotia.
