JLU 2019 Sport brake issues
A friend of mine was having problems with her driver's side brakes sticking. She took it to pep boys and had the caliper, rotor and pads replaced. She has double piston calipers in the front for some reason and they were kind of a pain to find plus they were expensive. She drives it home fine (approx. 6 miles) and doesn't drive it until the other day where the brand new caliper did the same thing but worse. She said she was on the side of the road for 2 hours waiting for it to stop smoking. I was dealing with a similar situation and my problem ended up being swollen brake lines. My question is if the brand new caliper did the same thing basically the first time it was really driven. Would it make sense to believe that the old caliper wasn't to blame in the first place and they just changed it out instead of diagnosing the actual problem?
