She like to twist her foot on the brakes while she press the brakes and I notice she ignored the handbrake warning light.

That means you were driving or she was driving? Do both sides go on fire?

If I had a customer who told me I could not drive her car, I would send her away. No one ever tells me that.

Does she ride the brake pedal?

She is super overheating the brakes.

I would send her on her way. You will live with that car forever due to her bad driving habits.

Send her to the dealer.

And what about the issue with the handbrake? I am pretty sure it's helping to burn the brakes.

Yep, but remember, if you touch it you will be doing or warrantying your work forever.

I would inspect the hand brake system to see but there would be a performance issue if it was hanging up.

Well you can also notice that the brake pedal sink all the way down at the start of the video. I asked her about it she said I happened because she was on park and once she put it on D and start driving again it became firm again like normal. I don't know if I have to check it too because I don't know if she is telling the truth.

Once again, you need to drive it. If she says no, send her away.

Do I have to repair it before sending her away? Because her brakes are overheating fast with the handbrake.
