Hello guys I recently got my rear brakes changed and experienced no problems for a couple of weeks. About a week ago I noticed a weird burning smell and when I finally parked and investigated what it was I noticed my Driver Side rear rim was hot, to hot to even touch without burning your hand. I drove around for a couple of more days and the driver side rear rim was perfectly fine until it happened again. I tried to rule out if it was an ebrake problem by not using my ebrake at all. I noticed that the days I put my top down Id get the smell from that wheel of the car so I was either thinking it could be the ebrake sticking or a seized caliper? But then today the same thing happened to the other wheel ( passenger side rear ). What do you think the problem could be?

I would take a look at the pads and calipers.

Your brake caliper is probably starting to seize up and needs rebuilt or replaced.

Sounds like he said it was two different wheels. Id guess your brake fluid may need a change? Ever changed it? Maybe its the calipers, but unless i misread and its only 1, i doubt 2 are goin out at once
