So on Friday I drove the car one time for abt 30-45mins, parked back at the house and when I got out had like a burnt smell from the passenger side. On Saturday drive it to get an oil change and get the car checked. They said everything looks good. Today I drove the car for abt 40 mins to a friends house for the Super Bowl and when I got out the car I decided to do a walk around I placed my hand near the wheels and the back wheel area was hotter then the front wheel area. I sprinkled water at the back brake and it sizzled I did the same to the front and it was fine. For some reason I believe my back brakes have ceased but don't know why n can't understand why. Can anyone shine some light to my problem and has anyone had this happen to them before. What can I do to fix this problem

Thanks for the help

Sounds like a jammed caliper pin.

Needs to be taken out and re-greased for proper sliding operation. However, if it has been damaged by the heating, then it will need to be replaced. Along with the rotor and pad - they are probably damaged too.

So I'm thinking of replace all brakes
Rotors f/r (Brakemotive kit
Pads f/r. (Brakemotive kit
All lines. ( idk
Rear calipers ( idk

I have changed my brakes pads b4 how much more work will changing the line and rear caliper be? Or should I buy what I can and have them installed.

Man 1200 dollars, that is pure rape prices. Dude if your mechanically inclined you can do it yourself, or find a shop that will do it for a third of the price of dealership.
