Hello How Do I get the emergency brake to release ?

Never heard of a parking brake automatically engaging. It does suffer with sticking brake cables. Are you sure the driver didn't step on the parking brake pedal? It is what I would have done and I have practiced it a number of times! You press the pedal a second time to release it. It is a known issue that the cable sticks, especially if the parking brake is never used.

Hello: Get a spray can of WD-40 and spray the park brake mechanism under your dash and make sure the park brake cables operate freely.

Hello: Look under the dash on the driver side, above the foot pedal for the park brake you will see the park brake assembly there will be a small lever possibly with a yellow tip. pull back on the lever and it should release the park brake.

Hello,

Normally the emergency brake will release itself when you put the car into drive or reverse. There is a vacuum system that releases it for you. Otherwise, there is something corroded somewhere along the park brake cable, in the rear brake caliper or perhaps the mechanism attached to the foot pedal. The brake cable is a plastic coated multi strand steel cable and shouldn't corrode. But that is theory and a corroded cable could be the problem.

Take care.

What happens is the brake cables rust inside the cable sheath and then they won't slide easily. There's no good fix for this other than replacement. It's not easy to even find where they are stuck.It might be possible to find the end of the cables at the back wheels and pull the cables back---to release the tension

try putting the car in drive then back in park. should release brake.

put your hands on the emergency brake pedal, run your hand up the lever and you should feel a release somewhere along the lever.it should be there

Hello smiversoon, My emergency brake did that too. I had it in for a clamp issue on my exhaust, and the person working on it said that it need replaced, by my honey, he said to just disconnected, I did use it anyways. So if you don't use yours just disconnect or have a new cable installed. Why it won't release I have no answer. But a good Jeep mechanic can tell you. Or if you put on Google search 05 jeep wrangler emergency brake won't release, hit search, I am sure others have similar story and a answer is not far away. Good Luck. Happy Jeepin'
