Parking brake cables are broken, rusted or frayed. You need to replace this cables. Driving around like that will cause the rear brakes to overheat causing probably damage to rear brakes and bearings.

There are two different brake cable ends, one is for road bikes, the other is mostly on bicycles with flat handle bars. Brake cables generally need lubrication and adjustment. It is not uncommon for corrosion to develop inside the bake cable housing. I would appreciate more information on your broken cables. The cables are not expensive and are easy to replace.

You will need to get underneath the vehicle and loosen the emergency brake adjuster to relieve the tension on the cables. Bear in mind that untill you replace the broken cable and readjust the emergency brake, you will have no emergency brakes.

Cable is broken and must be replaced. :-( If you need help replacing, let us know.

if you mean the parking brake, sounds like you have broken a cable. the cables keep tension on the handle and without that tension it won't stay up. also the broken cable would mean no parking brakes. if however the parking brakes work when you pull and hold the brake handle, then you have a broken part in the handle itself. you will need to get under it to figure out which cable is broken and replace it. the heat shielding may make this hard. I think the parking brake system is made of three separate cables, you can buy new ones at autozone, advance, ebay. stay away from dealers and used parts on this repair.

check to see if broken if so replace also check rear brake life and try adjusting the cable tighter

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

Can you get to any part of the cable? If so, use a pair of pliers to release it until you can replace the cable.
