This morning I went out and let the mustang idle for a few minutes before driving it, I noticed after putting it in reverse that I was having to give it more gas than I normally do for it to back up. Then everytime I would let off the gas going through my apartment complex, it was nose diving and slowing down fast. It was also nose diving in between shifts (all gears were working fine though). Then when coasting up to a light a put it in neutral and once again a nose dive. Pulled over and checked tires, checked to see if fluid was leaking, nothing. Finally checked the emergency brake, and it feels like it didnt disengage itself from the rear brakes. I can pull it about half way up without putting any real force behind it. didnt want to drive so i went back and got the g/f's car. Could this be that it maybe froze or something? never had this problem before. I cant look at it till 12 so im just trying to get some ideas on what I can do. 99% sure its the parking brake though. any suggestions would be helpful guys. thanks.

Yup, it probably froze. Do a search, there is a TSB for this.

What is so hard about searching, there was a thread about 3 days ago with this problem and how to deal with it. This shit gets old
