I have a 2008 XB, manual transmission, roughly 114,00 miles. Lately I have been having intermittent ABS, Brake and VSC off lights coming on and then going off. I have taken it to my mechanic but of course the lights went off on my way there and then came back on when I left. I had previously had a problem in the winter with my parking brake freezing and not disengaging, so I stopped using it. When the weather warmed up, I started using it again. Then, intermittently I would smell a hot brake type smell and hear a chirp that sounded like it was in the back wheels. At that time I took it to the mechanic who did not hear the noise but pulled the wheels off and saw nothing unusual. It was about a month after that that I got the lights on the panel coming on. Now these lights stay on much longer. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Could it be related to the former parking brake issue or am I just making a connection that does not fit? Thanks!

Have your mechanic hook your car up to an OBD2 scanner, he should still be able to see what was happening. It very well may be a rear hub / ABS sensor issue. This is a common problem in this platform.
