Brakes locked?

Ever since i bought my ss/sc my 2.2 balt has been sitting in my garage until the lease is up. I tried pulling it out today and its like all of the brakes are locked. I hit the gas and the cars body move back and forth like its trying to move but the tires wont spin! The e-brake isnt on either. Any thoughts? I would hate to have to return the car to the dealer when my lease is u and they rape me with repair cost

doesnt sound right, try checking under the car, see if you can see anythign off, i would start with taking tires off and inspecting everything...i know i have ABS, so mine donw lock up, but im pretty sure ABS ony helps when your moving as far as sitting still maybe the ebrake stayed on, try checking the ebrake cable...

The ebrake might have rusted itself stuck

No the ebrake is off and even if it was stuck on t wouldnt hold the car like that. Theres been a couple of times when i forgot to turn the ebrake off and i would drive like ten feet and then reember to turn it off

actually my ebrake will make the car rock like that. Take the console apart and see if it's tight or something. I don't know how the mechanism works on the rear brakes. I can't imagine what else it could be.

A wheel bearing might be frozen... Just an idea.
