Default FEH intermittently not holding car on hill

All,
Five or Six times now since owning my FEH 4x4 (for 10 months), when stopped at lights on the same hill the slight forward torque from the electric motor did not get turned on and the car started to drift backwards down the hill very quickly like it was in neutral, my quick reactions have stopped this so far, and i had to put my foot on the break and accerator at the same time to pull off without rolling back a fair distance.

re my other post i had the car serviced today and they tell me this is 'Normal behavior' they ran a 'Test' when clearly this isn't. Last week it happened to my wife and quite frightened her. I suspect she will now never drive it again......

Has this occurred to anyone else? Is this some kind of intermittent senor problem? Other than having an accident how do i convince my dealer to take this seriously?

Thanks
Dave
