| Description of the problem | Traveling down road and smelled burning. Parked after a short distance until next day. Brakes were not releasing. Next day after cooling, the vehicle was taken to a service facility, however advised brakes were fine. Approximately a month later i was bringing the vehicle to a dealer for an unrelated matter. I had driven approximately 75 miles and was near the dealer when the same smell occurred. Dealer found the left front brake caliper had failed. It was changed. Approximately february of this year, i had left my house and traveled approximately 3 miles when same smell appeared and brakes dragging. Turned around and went home. The right front caliper had failed and melted the abs sensor which have since both been changed. Concerned about rear brakes failing. |
