Does your 2008 have hill start assist?Could be that that system is not releasing properly perhaps?

Maybe try keeping your foot off the brake for at least a 3 second period before you pull away, just hold the car on the handbrake the old fashioned way, to see if the car behaves the same way. Edited by: burty
