Just got back from a drive, less than 1 mile in length. I noticed that the car felt sluggish and the brake pedal was firmer than usual. Didn't pay that much attention to it untill I started smelling burning brakes:mad:. I got home and smoke was rolling off the pass. side rear wheel. My guess is the wheel cylinder.
Any input would be greatly welcomed.

Make sure the caliper isn't seized.

I think I figured it out, caliper is fine, so I checked the e brake. Well the e brake was down all the way, but a penny was wedged in there holding tension on the pass side cable. Must have been a freak incident, I've never had that happen before.
BTW... I don't know why I said wheel cylinder, I meant caliper. I guess I was thinking of my other Sentra.

That is freakish. I guess I've had more trouble out of brakes on all of my cars than any other area. My NX even had a sticky caliper.
