need some help, ebrake seized?

The VDC/Slip stuff is probably because one or more wheels are stuck while the others are rolling, although I'm surprised it comes on at all if you're barely creeping in

The VDC/Slip stuff is probably because one or more wheels are stuck while the others are rolling, although I'm surprised it comes on at all if you're barely creeping in the driveway. Normally VDC errors aren't detected until you get up to some basic speed like 15mph or so.

You really need to lift the car up and spin the wheels by hand and confirm which ones are stuck (it may even only be one corner), and then take it from there. You can check the fronts with just one wheel up, but you should probably raise the whole rear or it'll be hard to tell the difference between a problem drag and just differential pull between the one in the air and the one on the ground.

Brake pedal "hard as a rock" meaning it doesn't move at all, even when the engine's on? It should move...

Have you inspected to make sure it's not something stupidly unexpected and mechanical? Like, I donno, somehow a golf ball went flying and got wedged in somewhere and is physically seizing the rotor or the wheel or something?
