Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rear calipers have failed 3 times, locking, and giving no brake pedal until pumped. the calipers lock and burn. i have installed 3 sets of calipers. the problem is that the emergency brake cable does not disengage when released and keeps the rear brakes employed. this causes the pads to burn and the rotors to warp. it also gives no braking when the pedal is depressed, causing brake fade. if you pump the brakes the pedel comes up. a new emergecy cable has to be installed.*ak
