Last night (after 10 minutes of driving) I noticed that my rotor overheated and turned red. Today it seems to be fine. My guess is that my caliper is locking-up spontaneously.
Did anybody experience this? If so, what needs to be replaces and how much did it cost? All input is appreciated….
Thanks

I would say your your pad is rubbing.. just a guess though.

sounds like a seized caliper, just get a new caliper to play it safe!

Check your emergency brake was all the way in the DOWN (disengaged) position, even if it was UP just a bit it may have caused friction with the rear pads, which over the time of the drive, caused them to heat up quite a bit.

why would you buy a new calipers? get rebuilt ones from your local autoparts store...but i'd replace them asap.

make sure theyre seized before you replace them. the same thing happened to me last night and all i needed to do was fix the adjustment on the brake light sensor and cruise control sensor sitting on the back of the brake pedal, the sensors were holding the brake on. could be your ebrake out of adjustment too. just make sure they actually are seized before you go replacing them
