The emergency braking system on these cars is simply a lever hooked to a set of cables that run to a set of brake shoes that expand against a set of drums on the rear wheels.
Here is my WAG. The cables that go to the back are held in place by a series of clamps. If one or more of the clamps are lose or missing, it may allow the cable to rattle against something and it would quit when the cable is under tension.
Now, back-in-the-day, I would have gone out to my garage, slid under my car and would have attempted to verify my suspicion. However, today, I can't slide under my car because it's too low and I wouldn't try it anyway because I don't bend that way anymore.
I do hope you get it sorted out. Hopefully, others will come along with a potential solution. Please keep us posted.

Thank you for your responses humfrz. Appreciate it.
I know it's been a very frustrating journey for me too because at one point the car was at the dealership for 5 weeks and they thought they fixed it but no luck.
I hope someone out there has had the issue is happens to be on this forum..
Thanks
