What brake release lever are you referring to? Other than releasing the parking brake, what issue do you have?

The one inside of my 1997 Mercury villager. I was reaching for the hood release without looking, but realized that I had pulled the break realease instead.

So what? All that does is release the parking brake when it's applied. If the parking brake wasn't applied, it didn't do anything.
