So, I was going to take a drive yesterday on the free way in NJ, started off okay ,top off the gas,check tire PSI, started down the free way,the x5 felt sluggish , couldn't really figure out what was wrong thought maybe the tranny was going out[drove about 4 miles].
I got off the free way drove[about 3 miles] slowly smelled something burning , stop the car seen a little smoke from the rear tires and knew the brake was stuck on wtf , the handle was down , stopped driving let it cool off ,check the handle again pulled and released, this time it only had 1 click to the handle , so it was free at least, drove home , check it this morning , the f-ckin caliper seal was cooked , and the rotor dis-coloured, pads where cooked .
So I guess I am getting a rear brake job done,wtf.
I think it was the parking brake , but maybe the rear brakes, I will see.
