Default Freezing Parking Brake Issue Solved(Hopefully)

Well after dropping my car off again today cause of the sticking parking brake...ford called me just before and said that aparently the parking break was sticking because somehow water worked its way into the housing that carries the p.brake cable and caused it to stick to the sides of the housing or something..there for making it not move...happened to the left wheel he said..Which is not supposed to happen...so they disassembled the entire system and cleaned it out..put new wd-40 in to prevent that again and even went as far to replace the brakes and rotors in the rear which was nice of them i guess..all for free

so this time the ford dealer wasnt all bad and the guy was very nice to me

so i get my car back tonight yet again
