Your electric parking brake locks up unexpectedly while driving, particularly when pulling into cross traffic. Undoing and reinserting your seatbelt temporarily resolves the issue, suggesting the parking brake is improperly linked to the seatbelt safety system. This appears to be a software or electrical programming problem where the brake doesn't have proper fail-safe logic. The fix will likely involve reprogramming the brake control module or replacing faulty seatbelt sensors.
