Had brakes done three times. First times pads and calipers. Two weeks later I had them replaced because I thought they were defected. Took it to a shop a week later and they did pads, calipers and rotors. Yesterday I smelled something bad and when I parked the passenger rear tire was smoking.

Hi,

Clearly something is causing the brakes to not release. I am showing you could have rear drum brakes, is this the case or do you have disc brakes all around?

If so, did you have all four calipers, pads, and rotors done? If so, we need to start looking at a master cylinder issue unless of course the person doing them is doing something wrong. I am not exactly sure what that would be but there is always that chance.
