I'm guessing your rear calipers don't work, which is common for them to go bad after about 80k miles. Just go get some new ones, bleed your brake fluid, I'd recommend a full flush, and go ahead and get some new pads and have the rotors turned or replaced. That should do it.

forgive my typing skills im usin a blackberry and my thumb is twice the size of the key pad but thanks but how are they bad? can i just buy a rebuild kit n do them?? or is it worse?

Rebuild kits sometimes cost more than a new caliper. The calipers are probably seized.

Do what Ryan suggests.

Lately I've been hearing a lot of bad things about rebuild kits for those calipers, either nothing fits or they just don't work, it'll probably jsut be worth it to get some new ones. I think I paid about $80 for a pair and then painted them before I put them on the car.
