I have just had my right rear brake drag for the second time. How many others have experienced this and which side seems the worst. |

I haven't had a failure yet, although I did buy my libby used. It had 80K km on it so who knows, it may have already happened and was fixed before I got it. N |

 I thought I was the ONLY one who'd had this happen!
Two Months ago, I was over a hundred miles from home, when my right rear froze up, and started smoking. I limped to a firestone dealer, waited for an hour for them to check it out, and it was STILL hot to the touch when he took off the tire. The mechanic told me, "It's ovious you had a brake problem, but I can't find anything wrong with it now". It's been fine ever since.

my driver rear just failed as well. i had the rear pads replaced, shortly after the work was done, the driver rear caliper stuck so bad that it was blowing smoke off the rotor. couldnt even touch the lug nuts. had the rear pads replaced under warranty, which is a whole other story to get that pulled off. no issues since. |

Just this week my left rear brake was not working.. when I would hit the brakes pretty much only the right side of my vehicle was stopping and i was being sent into the right lane. Of course the first time this happened was when the guy in front of my slammed his brakes on. Was a nice surprise to see I was doing a lane change. Took it to firestone and they cleaned/lubed the calipers for free. |

Had the right rear drag with around 28k on the Jeep this past summer. Soon as I felt it I pulled over and let it cool down, put water on it, etc. Drove it on home trying not to use the breaks as I didnt want to cook the bearing. $70 later, new caliper and its been fine since. 30k on it now. Still have the stock pads. |

Nope. I've got 54,000 on my '04 - and it didn't happen until about 5k ago. It's been fine since, though...... |
