2016 Cadillac Escalade - Frozen parking brake

The parking brake on my 2016 Escalade will not release. Is there a way of fixing it without costing me a fortune. In addition I have found the problem is with many Escalades. Is the dealer responsible for fixing it?

Suggest to begin by telling us more about your car’s configuration. AWD or ESV AWD or ESV RWD or RWD?

Is there a difference between the AWD and rear-wheel-drive parking brake?

No idea, but accessing the vehicle’s appropriate service data requires that info.

I my guessing you have an electronic parking brake. There is no recall for it yet, but others have had this problem with other brake problems. I believe there is a software update for this problem, but that is a trip to the dealer. also, there could be a problem with the parking brake module. In an emergency where you are stuck somewhere you could try disconnected the battery for 5 minutes. it might reset it. but you would lose your settings, saved radio stations, ect.
