I believe this problem started last Friday when I drove home in the nor'easter blizzard we had in which we got like a foot of snow. Everything was fine except the next day when I had to move my car to clean the driveway. It appeared the e-brake was stuck. Upon easing the e-brake handle down, it felt weird because it went down but it felt as if nothing happened and the handle didn't really do much. I went back to inspect and sure enough the caliper was seized right on the rotor. I lifted my e-brake to re-engage it and upon lifting it, there was a lot of force felt while pulling so it didn't seem right. But when I let it go, after 4-6 seconds, I heard a pop the brakes released and my car started rolling back.
I figured maybe you know it was cold and we did have freezing rain and all that prolly froze up. But in the next days it was doing the same! The e-brake seems sticky and is not engaging/dis-engaging properly! I know last summer I had a seized passenger side rear caliper and had to replace it, but the calipers seem fine to me. Could this be linkage issues? or the handle itself? :help:
