If its the wheels with the emergency brake in it, possible sticking brake cable
The light on the dash that says the emergency brake light is on could have burned out if it does not light up when the emergency brake is actually on. In some vehicles, this light will not light up until the car is put into gear to warn the driver that the emergency brake is still on.
Get a professinal to fix it
if a brake caliper locks up, you can buy a kit to rebuild from any auto store. but the best way is to replace it. they do not cost that much, depending on vehicle,
If you run your car with the emergency brake on it will heat the car up.
Yes the emergency brake cables can freeze up but will not cause a problem until it is applied.
The emergency brake cable is probably seized and the emergency brake is not releasing.
you don't. they are two entirely seperate systems.
The 2001 Kia emergency brake can be adjusted with the emergency brake adjustment bolt. The adjustment bolt will be on the emergency brake pad.
contaminated or warped brake piston. or warped or undersized rotor
Try topping the brake fluid up
