Hi Guys,
My rear driver's side brake has been seizing lately. Its happened twice so far over the past few weeks and both times it left a strong burnt rubber smell 1st time I thought the car was gonna catch fire hehehe. I took an appointment with the dealer for this Thurs June 12 but I was hoping you would have some advice on the matter before I went in?
- Would this be a caliper problem or a "brake fluid hose" issue. I heard a pin-hole leak on the hose can cause the break to seize.. How can one tell the difference?
- If its the caliper's, would that be covered under the warranty. I've read that the caliper slider is covered - I bought my edge in Aug 2011 (so under 36 months) and have 53.5K on it.
- If I have to replace it, should I go with OEM or performance? Any suggestions on parts?
Thanks for your help,
Rob
