I was driving and heard clanging sound after 30 seconds didn't hear the noise. Stopped to check under bonnet turned off engine checked under hood couldn't see anything. Started engine put in reverse nothing. So put in Drive still nothing. Both back wheels appear to be locked or seized when in Neutral both front wheels will move when turn the steering wheel from side to side. But rear wheels won't move even to allow us to push it either forward or backward. What do you think it could be?

Good evening,

From your description, it sounds like either the rear brakes are locked up or you have differential damage that is no allowing the car to move.

Can you remove the rear wheels and see if the brakes are locked up?

I cannot do that now. I will have to wait and find some one that will remove the rear wheels and look to see if the brakes are locked as soon as I do I will email you. Okay, thank you so much.
