Emergency hand brake lock failure on hot day causing the car to roll back suddenly. Requiring car to be placed in 1st gear to avoid roll back. Hand brake lever will not stay in place when tried to replace the button that hand sprung free from the leaver hole due to heat of car in the day it would not stay put.
