| The rear calipers have locked up several times. they have both been replaced several times. the brakes go on fine, and stop the car great, but they do not release once the brake pedal is released. the master cylinder and brake booster have also been replaced, as has the parking brake cable. once they i locked, if i turn off the enging and wait for a few minutes, they will eventually release. i have taken the car to several shops, but they are unable to find the problem. this problem has resulted in fire twice, and smoke and totalled rotors on several occasions. | |||
