Burning smell ??
On a 98 ford tarus..new breaks all the rotors turned...after an 2 hour long drive i had to pull over as i got flagged down...my right passenger side back tire was smoking..and it smelled of metel...and burning plastic.....checked for debris ( plastic bag or something from road ) calipers and breaks look ok....any idea ??

usually an easy fix, you could just take to advance for an core exchange..
