    Abstract: Methods and systems are for securing a vehicle. In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle includes a body, a drive system, a braking system, and a processor. The drive system is configured to generate movement of the body, and includes a motor. The braking system includes friction brakes that provide friction braking. The processor is disposed onboard the vehicle, coupled to the motor, and is configured to at least facilitate: determining that a loss in friction braking has occurred while the vehicle is being stopped; and providing instructions to the motor for providing propulsion torque, thereby securing the vehicle at a stop, when it is determined that the loss in friction braking has occurred; wherein the motor is further configured to execute the instructions provided by the processor for providing the propulsion torque.
