We have two instances of Mondeos rolling downhill, even though handbrake was applied. Ford's response is that the driver clearly didn't read the handbook, and apply the handbrake correctly. Ford have actually a letter to Mondeo owners reiterating the need to apply the handbrake firmly, so clearly its a problem.
Any other instances out there?

There is no problem with the parking brakes of four cylinder pre 2000MY Mondeos because they all have rear drums. But in any case The Highway Code tells you to leave the box in gear and anyone with any sense also points the front wheels towards the kerb if parking on an incline.
