E-Brake TSB?

Not sure but I was driving and had this awful burning metal/rubber smell whenever I would stop and when I got home the back left tire was radiating heat and smelled bad. The other tires smelled fine and it is a cool day but by no means cold.

So do ya'll think it is the stuck E-Brake problem?

You should be able to tell pretty easily....mine barely would move. If you put you car in gear does it want to die instantly or will it roll?

It rolls without much problem, that is why I was asking about it...

@Kaldar, when you are standing directly in front of your car, it is the back right.

RE: E-Brake TSB?

I'm wondering if you brake caliper simply seized for some reason. My old Mercury Mystique I had back in High school did that. It would roll just fine, but there was some rubbing and I just didnt know it. Was driving down the highway and started to smell something and back then I was stupid and didnt think much of it. Drove all the way home and I ended up destroying the rotor and caliper both. Luckily I didn't do aynthing worse than that.
