But when he drove home car sounds like ****, loud *** hell. wtf happen to me car. The rear smells like brakes like it has been locked up. Please help me. I just spent 1k on random parts and not i stalled yet. Please help anyone !!!!! Begging

Sounds like you might have a seized e-brake cable or parking brake shoes...

you need to pull the rear wheels and rotors off and see whats up.

Thinking the shoe got over stretched and has gotten stuck. Take a look at this link, should get you in the right direction.

use it or loose it.


I always use my e brake, keeps the cable from siezing up.

You probably need a new cable, or you need to work your cable free.
