Mine froze up in winter about eight years ago. It was the two rear cables that stuck which is a common problem in cold climates. I disconnected the cables from the brake and drove it for another seven years. Recently I decided to finally fix them (I had bought new Toyota cables at the time I originally had the problem). Replacing them is not that difficult. When I took off the old ones it was clear that the rubber seals that keep water and other junk out of the cable were totally shot. The ebrake now works perfect for the first time in 8 years.
