Problems with the electric handbrake on the Renault Wind 2013: experiences and repair tips

Hello, I'm not a professional, but I do have some experience with cars. I once had a similar problem with my Renault Mégane (built in 2011, diesel), so they are practically siblings. My control unit was defective. I left about 1000 euros in the garage at the time. The guys there were great, gave me good advice and solved the problem quickly. What exact features does your Wind have? Is it manual or automatic? The more information you provide, the better I might be able to help you. Ultimately, I would definitely recommend visiting the workshop. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help! My Renault is manual. The last mileage was 141847 km at the last inspection. I haven't been to the garage for a while so that should probably be my next step. I just hope it won't be as expensive as yours! And hopefully I'm not the only one with such a crazy problem.

Hey, no problem, happy to help! Your mileage is already a bit higher, so there could be something wrong. Visit the garage anyway, maybe you'll be lucky and it's just a minor issue. But it's better to have it checked early on before the handbrake lets you down completely! And don't worry, you're certainly not alone - many models have idiosyncrasies that sometimes give you gray hair. Keep your fingers crossed that it won't be too expensive! Let me know when you know more. Stay careful on the road, especially now that the handbrake is acting up.

Hey, thanks for the encouraging words! The tip sounds good, I really won't be able to avoid going to the garage and having it checked. I'm curious to see what they'll say. I just wish cars weren't so complicated! I'll keep you posted and thank you very much for your help. And I promise I'll stay careful on the road. See you then!
