| Description of the problem | I have had vehicle for 2 weeks,have driven it less than 200 miles,right rear brake locked up and would not release,when i got home wheel was hotter than fire and smoking. I replaced rear pads,they had about 3/16 of inch pad left. Piston in caliper compressed easy so put pads on and drove about 15 miles and came home only to find rt rear smoking again. I am assuming now its the emergency brake,which i have never used being an automatic. |
