Hi, so when I put my car in reverse, the drivers side wheel just stops suddenly making my car not being able to move. Help would be nice, it's my daily been walking for two weeks. thank you

You haven't provided any information, clues, or test results that can be used to make a diagnosis. My best recommendation is to check for a parking brake cable that's stuck in the partially-applied position if this is a rear brake, then to remove the brake drum for whichever wheels is locking up and look for a broken shoe return spring or a lining that is rusted off the frame and is getting stuck. If you can't find anything obvious, post a photo of the brake shoes and springs, and a photo of the inside of the drum.

Hey thanks! So when I put it in reverse it moves about 3 feet, then the front driver side wheel lockes up and doesn't move in reverse only forward.

Do like I listed. Can't elaborate now due to dying laptop battery.
