I had this happen to me about a year ago when I was living in Dallas. We had a big freeze and my car wouldn't move. I moved back to Houston, and we don't really have freezes that much. Didn't know there was a TSB on it.

Growing up in New England in the 60's and earlier (
never mind how much earlier), the cheapest way to prevent a stuck P-brake was to not use it during the winter if there was any way to avoid absolutely having to. Old habits die hard; I still hardly ever use it.

I am only 19 but have learned already not to throw the e-brake on when it is cold out. It is not something specific to any car, it just happens sometimes.
