I have been hearing a slight squeaking noise when driving. The other day it was a horrific, loud screeching noise! Took it in to mechanic, my caliper is stuck. They couldn't even manually spin tire. Because of this it burned up rotors and pads, so now i need to replace them all at a cost of $900! How does a caliper just freeze up??

My vehicle has had two recalls for brakes. Both recalls taken care of by the local dealer.

I need to find out, from a reliable source, if my vehicle is safe to drive.

The rear pads were into steel, rotors deeply grooved, front brake pads stuck in brackets causing brake pressure to go to rear brakes causing quick wear. The rear brake pads and rotors had to be replaced, the front brake pads were also…
