I guess I should rephrase. You should never leave an E-break applied for an extended period of time when it is freezing (parking overnight, for a couple of hours at a friends place, that kind of thing).

Honestly, this is a completely ridiculous statement. One should never use an e-brake except in times of short usage--shorter than overnight? Please.

I guess it all depends on what you call it now. Parking brake--use when parking. Emergency brake--use during emergencies....so whitch one do we have then?? Emergency? lol

Popular question lately. If your Stang was built before 10/1/06, go get your new brake cables. Mine are getting installed tommorrow. When people tell you to just not use them, that's the silliest thing I've heard. Never had problems on any other car. Oh and I've heard people say that going in reverse will loosen them up, I can tell you that it's not always true. Actually, they were grabbing harder when I did.

I've used the E-brake every time I park in every single vehicle I've owned, auto or manual, and this is the first problem I've ever had.

This is amazing, I don't think I have ever use my Emergency parking brake. But if I would use it, it doesn't get that cold hear so ?
Why do you use it? Do you have emergency's or does your 'Park' possition not work or your 1st gear possition. I don't understand?

It is officially called the "Parking Brake". From page 149 of the 2006 Mustang Owner's Manual:
"Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or in 1 (First) (manual transmission)."
