Hello all.

I've had my Xterra since July '99 and absolutely love it. Have not had one single problem, until now.. If anyone on the forum has any ideas or input that will help me rectify this myself I would appreciate it. I'd take it to the dealership but that's about 60 miles away and I don't want to drive the X in it's current condition.

Problem:
I believe my emergency brake will not release fully. With the truck out of gear, and on a slight incline, it will not roll. Even when it's in gear, it feels like the brake is on. I set and released the Emerg Brake numerous times but that did not fix the problem. Actually, when i pulled the emergency brake a little farther back than normal and released, the problem seemed to get worse.

Is there something I can look for or test/try to confirm this? If so, is there something I can do myself to 'unset' the emergency brake. I haven't been driving it this week b/c I'm not sure what kind of damage I could cause.

Thanks for any assistance,

Brent
