On three occassions now, December 29, 2007, January 19, 2008 and January 20, 2008, the parking brake on my car seems to "freeze". I put the parking brake on because it is a manual transmission and when releasing it, it does not. I am unable to drive the car further than a few feet. I can smell burning rubber and feel the drag on the rear wheels. I can hear it also. This has occurred when the temperature has been below 32 degrees.

In December the temp. Got down to 17 degrees, because of the cold weather my emergency brake locked my back wheels up. I took it into the Ford company and they unlocked them. I was told that they had froze and needed to be replaced or not to use emergency brake until it warmed back up.

My 2005 Ford Mustang parking brake cable has locked up each of the last two winters. I have read several similar incidents. The 2nd time my dealer suggested I not use the parking brake in winter. Why has Ford not recalled and redesigned this part?.
