Default Parking Brake Stuck



Parking Brake Won't Release:
You see smoke or smell burning brakes, or the rear wheels are abnormally
hot, after driving. It feels like the car is dragging when going forward and
rolls easily in reverse. The parking brake moves very easily up and down.

Possible causes:
1.. Parking brake cables are frozen: Replace parking brake cables.

2.. Parking brake linkage needs lubrication: Lubricate parking brake
linkage.

3.. Broken parking brake mechanism inside your rear brakes. Repair or
replace broken parts as required
