Hello. Yes it is 2023 and I've had my 2008 Scion xd since it was a little over 52,000 miles.

I haven't had any challenges and I am so thankful. Until I got in my five-speed Scion xd after being in a store and the emergency brake was locked.

I don't know if anyone knows, however I've read some other threads about the connectivity between the emergency brake and the rear brakes, etc. could this be a simple fix or do I have to be concerned about driving down the road and everything locks up?

I live in South Carolina so it is not a temperature related issue.
Thank you

Might be a rusted emergency brake line. Might need to open up the drum and see if there is rust in there. Good luck.

On my 2008 xD, the emergency brake line got gummy. The e-brake would not release. No idea how it happened. It almost looks like the inner insulation melted. Had to replace the whole Bowden cable. A professional diagnosed and did the replacement for me, so, no idea how difficult it is.
